Abstract | La Vie en roses represents Phase 2 of a multi-phase research project to expand the braided design model. The team of designers created a digitally printed garment with additional fiber art variations of the print to form a three-dimensional component. The final pattern, inspired by a Madame Grès one-piece jacket, allows continuous flow of the engineered print. The team expanded the design with a striped textile print for the lining using “color hearing” through psychomimicry. As much of the print involved roses in shades of pink and peach, the song La Vie en Rose was selected. The striped print is also incorporated as the main jacket background, with additional circular motifs to balance the large floral images. Three-dimensional floral elements, created through dyeless shaped resist, with raw edges and beading, expand the design spatially and texturally. A third silk organza layer can be worn either up or down as a peplum. | |
