Fashion brand Pringle of Scotland has incorporated laser-sintered nylon fabric into garments for its Autumn Winter 2014 collection, shown yesterday at London Fashion Week.
Pringle of Scotland collaborated with material scientist Richard Beckett to create a series of 3D-printed fabrics for the collection using selective laser sintering (SLS).
To produce textiles that could move like traditional cloths, Beckett chose specific machinery that could create the tiny nylon parts needed to keep the material flexible.
“I used an EOS Formiga P100 SLS system due to its ability to build at high definition, one of the few systems that would allow you to build such complex movable parts at this size,” Beckett told Dezeen.
The printed sections were then handwoven into the knitwear through small hooks on the underside or stitched on top of the wool.
Bands of the material formed cuffs for jackets while larger elements created diamond-shaped Argyle patterns across pullovers and sleeveless tops.
3D-printed garments have previously appeared in Haute Couture fashion collections by designers such as Iris van Herpen and a bespoke garment for Dita Von Teese, but Pringle of Scotland claims that this is the first time the technology has been used for ready to wear.
“I wanted to explore a move away from the more sculptural costume approach of such pieces, towards a more material, haptic-based approach,” said Pringle of Scotland head of design Massimo Nicosia.
The Autumm Winter 2014 collection was presented during this season’s London Fashion Week, which concludes tomorrow.

Elysia lounge chair è la prima sedia disegnata da Luca Nichetto per il brand portoghese De La Espada. Di chiara ispirazione mid-century con sostegno in legno di frassino o noce e seduta in tessuto imbottito. Presentata durante la scorsa Stockholm Design Week.
Le photographe hongrois Bence Bakonyi, dont nous avons déjà parlé, signe la série « Nameless » dans laquelle il joue avec les couleurs pastel et l’apesanteur. Un chien, des balles violettes, un balai, un petit palmier, une série d’objets virevoltants est à découvrir dans la suite.
Vivant à Vienne en Autriche, Andreas Scheiger s’est amusé avec Upcycle Fetish à utiliser divers pièces de vieux vélos pour décorer une pièce en proposant ceux-ci comme s’ils étaient des trophées. Des objets étonnants, qui en plus de proposer un aspect esthétique intéressant, peut aussi servir de porte-manteaux ou encore de porte-vélo.
Stockholm 2014: this movie by Swedish brand Massproductions shows how designer Chris Martin’s modular sofa system can be arranged to fit any room.
The Anyway Sofa System by Chris Martin features elements with concave and convex bends of both 30 and 90 degrees, creating flexible arrangements that can fit into awkward spaces.
“I saw a need for a sofa that closely related to the space it found itself in,” said Martin. “The Anyway Sofa complements interior spaces, almost to the point where it becomes part of the architecture.”
The upholstered seating can be ordered with a high or low back and modules include the option to add armrests on either end.
Legs are available in a range of wood and metal finishes. Massproductions exhibited the seating at this year’s Stockholm Furniture Fair, which took place last week.

Fashion designer Sadie Williams has heat-pressed neoprene to create this collection of metallic sci-fi garments, which was nominated for Designs of the Year 2014 earlier this week.
Sadie Williams created the embossed effects on the dresses in her Totemic collection by sandwiching layers of neoprene, more commonly used for wetsuits, between metallic yarns and tracksuit material.
Williams chose the sparkly yet structured materials after seeing old images of Harley Davidson riders and Japanese bikers who rode glittery motorcycles.
“I really love the graphic, masculine print arrangement found in biker clothing, helmets and panelled satin racing vests,” said Williams. “I incorporated leather elements into my collection as a nod to bikers.”
The simple silhouettes of the dresses were influenced by 1960s designers Pierre Cardin and André Courrèges and references from gowns by Italian designer Valentino are visible in the length and dropped waists.
Bonding the metallic yarns to the tracksuit fabric removed the need for lining and also gave the textile a stiff quality.
Leather panels and patches were either sewn into the dresses or appliquéd on top.
Prints were added on top using hand collaged heat-transfer papers and a dye-sublimation printer, which also employs heat to transfer colours to textiles.
Sadie Williams created the garments while studying on Central Saint Martins‘s MA Fashion course, which she graduated from last year.
The collection is nominated in the Fashion category for this year’s Designs of the Year awards organised by London’s Design Museum. Two of her pieces will go on display at the museum from 26 March as part of the dedicated exhibition.

Stockholm 2014: Italian designer Luca Nichetto and Portuguese furniture brand De La Espada have launched a lounge chair as the first product from a new collection.
The Elysia chair is the debut piece from Luca Nichetto‘s 50/50 range for De La Espada.
The frame of the chair consists of two parallel wooden legs that are joined by a wooden crib-like structure. This crib holds the padded upholstery and meets in two triangular points at the arms.
“The skeleton, traditionally hidden inside the upholstery, is deliberately exposed to showcase the craftsmanship and premium timber,” said Nichetto.
The Danish-oiled frame is made of either American black walnut or European ash and the upholstery is available in a range of fabrics, covering the harder outer shell and soft padded cushions inside.
“The project takes its name both from the concept of balancing skilfully hand-crafted wood with complementary materials at a ratio of 50/50,” said Nichetto. “From the idea of designing a collection that creates a whole environment in the spirit of the great architects of the 1950s.
The collection was launched during Stockholm Design Week, which took place last week.
Nichetto also revealed ceiling-mounted office dividers for Offecct and a lamp shaped like a cheese fondue pot at this year’s Stockholm Furniture Fair and Northern Light Fair.
