TELK3 coat collection
Project TELK3 is a collection made of discarded military tents and uniforms. These alternative unisex coats are decorated with hand or machine embroidery details with a reference to new urban camouflage. This collection is a continuation to the previous TELK projects and a special ensemble produced for the Japanese market.

CUT OUT
Capsule collection Cut Out is also from the laser cut series. A small collection that investigates the relation between two contrasting fabrics and the way they interact through layering and draping. Through this, the work will hopefully challenge the industry in terms of working with laser cutting, garment construction and also textile manipulation.

CUT IN
CUT IN- exploring curved laser cut lines in relation to garment construction. This is the MA degree collection of Kairi Lentsius at The Swedish School of Textiles.
This project investigates laser cutting in relation to textile manipulation and creating three-dimensional form. More precisely, this collection of nine outfits becomes an exploration about expressions of laser cut lines and their interrelation to the body through folding and draping the textile material. The laser bridge cut line used, will be the guiding principle for a garments construction and through this different shapes are tested. This way of working with the material, its character and added manipulation will propose a new understanding of and an alternative way for constructing garments.
This investigation is also a proposal for a new mind-set when it comes to using laser cutting in fashion design. Laser cutting has mainly been regarded as a technique for coration, yet the machine could have a much greater role in the design process. Textile manipulation in this work is seen not only as a surface decoration but as a method of creating a 3D form from a 2D material which in this case is a method of design for shaping a garment. Through this, the work will hopefully challenge the industry in terms of working with laser cutting, garment construction and also textile manipulation.

These alternative unisex coats and dresses (or vests!) are decorated with hand or machine embroidery and silk screen printed details with a reference to new urban camouflage. This collection is a continuation to the project TELK1.
