Looking at weaving in a contemporary way.

I have started to look at designers who works with weave or has been inspired by weaving and how these designers are making weave more contemporary and update but still using the traditional weaving techniques.

  Looking through view magazine i came across this image.
This is Dolce and Gabbana's spring-summer 13 collection
i then went looking for more of his collection and its was not only full of bold stripes, straw and woven manipulated pieces turned into bustiers re-working the classic basket but the full use of exciting summer colours and the embroidery work makes this collection full of fun.
The methods of construction here is very much an influence on my own work.
