The Seamless Weaving Initiative 無縫編織 - Loy Chan



Loy Chan 是一名來自英國皇家藝術學院(RCA)的男裝設計師,在2020年,Loy為我們展示了一些來自無縫編織的見解倡議。

無縫編織 | 互連- // 服裝設計師如何在織布機製造、織造修改和機械創新設計方面工作?//當無縫編織和裁樣發生碰撞時,服裝設計師的角色是什麼?


Seamless Weaving | Interlink — // How a fashion designer works on loom making, weaving modification and machinery innovation design? // When seamless weaving and pattern cutting collide to each other, what will be the role of the fashion designer?

The seamless weaving initiative consists of the research and development of a seamless weaving process, that works alongside the apparel development processes. Seamless weaving takes place from the perspective of an ultimate zero-waste garment manufacturing process, literally directly weaving from yarn into the garment.

無縫編織,不論編織過程的研究和開發,及服裝設計的過程及技術同時進⾏,⽤兩 種⾄數種⽅法及調研⾓度切入研究及設計。 無縫編織是為了尋找「零費棄」的服裝製造⽬標的⾓度進⾏,理念是從紗線直接織造成服裝。

It Is A Journey That Never Ends:

There are possibilities of the implementation of seamless weaving across a range of existing garment-making techniques and coexist with the hybrid of the manufacturing process - for instance, sewing, knitting, and taping.

Seamless weaving is developed to recreate movements of the body, pattern cutting also important in how translating into structural loom weaving, that potentially construct a garment through all these dedicated tows slots in the loom making.

這是⼀個永無⽌境的旅程:

Loy Chan 認為可以在多種現有服裝製造技術中實現無縫編織,並與不同的製衣技術(例如縫製,編織和針織技術)混合。無縫編織的發展是為了重現⾝體多元的動態及⽣活環境,服裝剪裁跟織機的構造⽅⾯的融合設計也很重要,通過織機製造中的所有這些專⽤絲束槽,從⽽縫製成服裝。

Modification of the woven structure and the mechanism is the first initiative in seamless weaving, it’s a very similar idea translating pattern cutting onto weaving, Its the concept of structure formation.





The structural loom is translated from the concept of a set of harness, where all the compression points are connected to form the wrapping surfaces where resonate to the fundament of the weaving loom.





A holistic design practice from the language of the apparel industry, alongside all the different interfaces including digital technology and high-performance textile development, becoming a standard as well as a language to adopting wearable technology and seamless technology in future wear.
