Design student Hayley Martell combines traditional crafting techniques, like knitting and embroidery, with a few basic chemistry skills to push the boundaries of garment making. Think: using dyes to alter the state of a material, batik, and thioxing fabric (that’s a fancy term for a kind of bleaching). She seeks to create “a cohesive body of work that, with the processes I put the fabrics through, touches on ideas of change and the ever present push and pull humans feel between the way they were raised and the ideas they formulate on their own in adulthood.” The result is a collection of unique, sculptural garments that, although constructed from primarily found material, still look wholly new! She calls it Huletta; we call it our Project of the Day.
