Description

For my turban, I used metallic fabric, trim, thread and ribbons in layers to create the idea of earth as an element of function, that works with itself, to create beautiful things. Like metals, or roots that create trees or the soil that supports the silkworm that made the silk for my lining fabric. The first layer of black lurex fabric holds atop of it a gold trim outline with silver thread laced throughout. Lastly, a layer of copper tubing ribbon is woven and draped to create a knot on top which also signifies earth’s endless beginnings and endings.

Materials:

Foundation supplies including buckram, wire, foundation and fashion fabric etc.
Black lurex fabric
Metallic trims including, silver thread, gold foil/gold tread trim, copper tube ribbon, gold ribbon
Silk Lining

Techniques:

Buckram base construction
Fabric draping
Traditional millinery technique and finishing
