Fashion is driven by innovation. Caroline Carrig seems to know this. The recent grad of the Royal College of Art is incorporating sound waves into her textile design. Her audio fabrics are inspired by French filmmaker Jacques Tati and the sound of cinema.
“Pale, shiny, tactile and structural in form, Caroline’s garments are made from brand new fabrics she developed herself. Embossed PVC, bonded paper silk, bonded metallic organza – each hybrid material is the product of hours of experimentation using a heat press. The fabrics were conceived for the distinctive sound they make against the skin – the swish of latex, the shuffle of organza. Each piece was made without a sewing machine, relying on heat to bond seams together. The whole look has a retro space-age feel, sexy in its use of slick, icy tones.”
