As a group we decided to dip-dye some of our garments in the collection so that there is a consecutive similarity throughout. Doing this will achieve a two-tone yet simplistic look, just as Jill Sanders' SS11 Menswear collection.
Obviously things did not go to plan.
The pink blazer has a waterproof coating over it due to it previously being a raincoat, meaning that it doesn't take to conventional inks so instead we had to heat press the inks to get a blocked look.
We taped a line with masking tape evenly around the jacket two thirds up to ensure our dyed line was straight. Little did we know that when we put the masking tape in the heat press it would stick right into the jacket and stain.
I might have also accidentally printed over the line.
Bollocks.
