Textile Institute Student Design Competition Entry

The brief was to design a furoshiki that would appeal to delegates at the 100th anniversary conference.


(Originating from Japanese culture where it promotes caring for the environment and reducing waste; Furoshiki is the eco-friendly wrapping cloth. Using techniques similar to origami, it can be used for gift wrapping, grocery shopping or simply as decor. Choose from a wide variety of sizes and designs to complement your lifestyle. Why furoshiki? It is reusable and multipurpose. Each year billions of plastic bags end up as litter; reusable bags, such as furoshiki can help reduce the impact to our environment. Its versatility allows you to wrap almost anything regardless of its shape or size.)

I mulled this over in my head for ages, and then when it came to it just wanted to design something I'd like myself!

Brudenell, baby.

Having the best nephew in the world means I have the opportunity to make sure he's well dressed.
Here he is modelling a funky green version of the classic Brudenell Social Club shirt I made him just using computer transfer paper.
