Minnie Reed’s graduate collection ‘Crafted Tactility’ explores sustainability through value. Evolving from researching domestic knitting as an inherently sustainable craft, it explores the ideas of value, process, and use. To capture her research the focus was put on the use of contrasting neutral and natural materials, such as lambswool and paper. This exploration of subtle texture guided the development of the fabrics. By placing an emphasis on hand finishing, her final collection is made up of fabrics that highlight and celebrate imperfection, irregularity, and repair. By championing slow crafts in this way, she aims to spotlight the importance of valuing the textiles and garments that we own and choose to buy. BA TEXTILE DESIGN_CENTRAL SAINT MARTINS
