                                     Giles Deacon, Spring-Summer 2007                                                           DIY Couture, SS 2012                                                     

We're delighted to announce that we're teaming up with the amazing, paradigm-shifting DIY Couture this autumn to run a blockbuster course called DIY Digital Couture in tandem with the new Fashion Galleries at the V&A and the Digital Design Suite in the Sackler Centre, the educational centre for the V&A. 

We'll be teaching you how to make lush, full swing skirts with digital and embroidered details that echo some of the exuberant sumptuousness now on display in the new Fashion Galleries Ballgowns show!

Details will be posted on @slowtextiles Twitter as they come up. We look forward to welcoming you there!

Textile Talks 2013!

We love the vivid and seamless relationship between American artist Jacob Magraw-Mickelson's drawing and stitching as seen in these images!

It's really too bad if you missed Ying Wu's publication at the Slow Studio of her research, creative process and future direction in relation to global destructive industrial activity on August 11th 2012 and Geraldine Peclard's insights into qualitative methodologies for interpreting the chemistry of psychiatry for creating symbolic form and pattern in printed textiles on July 14th 2012!

Following the great success of these Slow Textiles Group Textile Talks, we are soon to announce our exciting international line-up for 2013!
