‘Future Tailoring’ is the term that I use to describe this process; an approach that is shaped and defined by the unlikely combination of traditional tailoring techniques with ultrasonic welding and taping technology. I developed these innovative techniques while studying at the Royal College of Art in London, allowing me to create a series of collapsible outwear pieces, constructed entirely without sewing. Drawing inspiration from single-use products  such as the collapsible hoover bag, my process considers the beauty and engineering in the banal, in a dialogue that considers material values and consumer behaviour in an era of disposability.
