Suit and Hat

Loreto Normanhurst

Olivia Carr

"A contemporary representation of historical women’s suiting, this ensemble draws heavily on Chanel aesthetics and the sustainability of upcycling denim."

Images of Work

"Through the elaborate and decorative manufacturing technique of patchwork and unique combination of denim; my garments demonstrate an aspect of sustainable practices and upcycling of discarded items, whilst meeting the functional and aesthetic design requirements."

"My suit skirt and suit jacket entails an array of machine top stitching to create depth following the patchwork panels and floral components. This feature ultimately enhances the surface texture, visual appearance and overall appeal of my Major Textiles Project."

Select Student Folio Pages

The pages selected for each project reflect the individual students' interpretations of the syllabus guidelines for the MTP. Each student should develop their folio according to the guidelines, relating to their own individual project. This may result in a variety of presentation styles, numbers of sketches and/or experiments.
