The fibrous metallic garments in Central Saint Martins graduate Graham Fan’s London Fashion Week collection are reminiscent of wire brushes used for cleaning the dishes.
MA Fashion graduate Graham Fan’s initial material experiments for his final collection were influenced by Thomas Heatherwick’s woven metal facade at Guy’s Hospital in London.
“As I began working on this collection, I created a piece of woven plastic textile inspired by the exterior of [Heatherwick’s] Boiler Suit,” he told Dezeen.
“I then looked into various traditional basketry and weaving sources, hoping to further craft some new textiles with different materials,” he added.
Metallic plastic cords were handwoven unevenly to create patterns for the jackets, tops and dresses, plus skirts with 1950s shapes. The threads loop back on themselves to form turtlenecks, cuffs and hems.
Fan incorporated mohair, leather strips and fish wire into some sections of the weave to add texture.
“Elastic fish wire was woven through the materials horizontally and vertically in order to create the uneven shimmering surface,” said Fan.
Fan showed the collection during the Central Saint Martins show at Somerset House last Friday, which took place as part of London Fashion Week.
Fellow graduate Ondrej Adamek’s range featured huge satin flowers that conceal the faces of models. Photographs are courtesy of Catwalking.com.

Stockholm 2014: Swedish collective Note Design Studio has added a floor lamp and triple pendant design to its collection based on grain silos for lighting brand Zero.
The Silo Trio and Silo Floor by Note Design Studio debuted on Zero‘s stand at Stockholm Furniture Fair and Northern Light Fair earlier this month.
“[These are] two logical follow-ups requested by architects, with the same industrial simplicity and clearness as its original,” said the studio.
Three of the silo-shaped shades are connected in a row by a horizontal bar that runs through the top of each pendant to form the suspended light.
The floor lamp balances on a slender stem, connected to the head by a hinge so the light source can pivot up and down. Its long cable flows out of the back of the shade.
All variations are made from aluminium and come in an extended range of colours.
The Silo lamp was originally launched as a pendant in Zero’s collection at last year’s Stockholm Design Week.
At this year’s event, the brand also showcased spherical glass lamps that appear to be steamed up and a light that resembles a poster tube.
Note Design Studio launched a sofa with a base that extends outwards to become a side table and a series of colourful ash tables at the fair.

Huge satin flowers conceal the faces of models walking in Central Saint Martins graduate Ondrej Adamek’s London Fashion Week debut.
Adamek created the flower shapes by gathering fabric at a central point, from which loose pleats emanated to the rounded hems.
These sections of the garments were positioned to cover the front of their wearer’s heads, forming unusual silhouettes.
Petal motifs were also used on shoulder pieces that stuck upward from sleeves and for the bottom of ankle-length dresses.
The collection contained blue and pink outfits, made entirely from satin.
Thick strip of darker and lighter fabrics were mixed to create the gowns, tops and skirts.
Adamek’s eight-piece collection was designed while studying on Central Saint Martins‘ MA Fashion course.
He was one of two designers awarded the L’Oréal Professional Creative Award at the London institution’s show last Friday during London Fashion Week, which concluded yesterday.
The award was judged by British fashion designer Christopher Kane, whose Autumn Winter 2014 collection featuring dresses created from overlapping layers of outlined fabric was also presented during the event.
