Alterpretations by Nicola Morgan

Exploring new ways of constructing and cutting garments, I came across “Alterpretations”, by the designer Nicola Morgan, geniously based on the principles of flat packed furniture: the garments are laser cut and link together without the need for machine sewing.

“The idea for the collection is to evolve ideas for products which are often discarded frequently into lasting pieces of high quality clothing.
Developing a method of joining fabric together which is strong enough to be worn but without creating a permanent seam. A selection of interchangeable pieces of ‘Fashion Lego’, which can be repositioned to create multiple forms.”

In addition to this The collection includes one-piece garments, which fold from a flat pack form to construct a fitted garment. The linkage method is also used as a trim, which can be applied to finer fabrics.

I love when designers look for completely different solutions, thinking out of the box like this.
