Make and Remake rejuvenates existing resources such as second-hand and scrap material. This theme celebrates the transformation of pre-used, deadstock, and remnant textiles into beautiful, desirable products. Designers are encouraged to let their imaginations run free, using creative, unexpected processes and applications to repurpose the wealth of reusable materials already available. Techniques such as overprinting, overdyeing, bricolage, collage, and patchwork create a maximalist, joyful mix of colour, print, pattern, and texture. The aesthetics of repair come to the fore, as contrast joinery, stitching, and patching become features in their own right, and encourage visible rejuvenation. The inventive, ingenious approach of Make and Remake has a joyous, energetic appeal.
- Enhanced tactility is achieved through crafted embellishment: embroidery, appliqué, textured weaving, knotting and fringing
- Overprint and overdye processes transform old into new; layered colour patterns and graphics lead to bold and maximalist, yet conscious, designs
- Wrapped, taped, dipped, darned – visual mending is embraced and elevated, treated as embellishment and decoration
- Ad-hoc assemblages of pre-loved, remnant or archive textiles combine in mix and match compilations
- Colour is reclaimed and recycled – synthetic brights are desaturated, muted and dirtied with complex undertones that evidence past lives
Colour Palette
A palette of nuanced brights represents colour that has been recycled and reclaimed. These saturated hues feature added complexity that suggests the effects of age, wear and transformation through time and processing.
Challenging assumptions that conscious colour must be muted and dirtied, this palette boasts vibrancy and dynamic contrast.
