FashionTech Timelapsed: Felting and Couture Technologies by Jackie Leung

Fashion technology has traditionally been a type of hands-on craftsmanship. Needle felting is the process of transforming wool into 3D objects using a barbed needle. In wool felting, fibres are agitated, so they bond together and create a solid fabric. Felting needles are now designed to be used in industrial felting machines to do felting at a much larger scale. Thousands of felting needles are in these machines making nonwoven fabric or felt sheets. The felted textile can be wrinkle-resistant and resistant to abrasion than other woollen fabrics. ------------------------------------------------------------ Exposition featuring Jackie Leung 梁美麗 | Tsai-chun Huang 黃才駿 | Lushan (Sarina) Sun 孫璐姍 June 18 - September 30, 2021 @ ITC Store (Block HJ Room HJ211) and The Fashion Gallery (online), PolyU Welcome to visit online exhibition at Fashion Gallery: https://www.fashiongallery.hk/fashiontechtimelapsed Webinar Series 1: The Changing TECHNOLOGIES in TRADITIONAL SURFACE DESIGN Registration link: https://www.polyu.edu.hk/pfs/index.php/957312?lang=en Curation: Lushan (Sarina) Sun, Jackie Leung, Tsai-chun Huang Exhibit Management: Magnum Lam, HO Hiu Tung Hilton, Yuki Cheng Photography: LEE Wai Leung Graphic Design: SO Chung Wa Elisa, CHEUNG Ching Fung Caelan, MA Hoi Yan Phyllis Videography: Tina Ho, Oscar Ko, JIM, Yu Ching, Tiffany Chow Styling: Jesse Yau, Miki Leung Modelling: Lai Pui Ki Peggy, LO Pan Chi Pansy, LAM Ching Nam Jasmine Exhibit Assistance: Simran Gulati, WAN Ch
