Moment to Arise is a menswear collection inspired by the interaction between the body and bedding, offering an abstract form of comfort and security in times of uncertainty spanning the globe. 

Using a multi-layered approach to pattern cutting and moving through 2D and 3D techniques, the collection uses experimental drapes of bedding on the stand and body to inform design ideas and silhouettes. These are translated into garments by using elements of subtraction cutting combined with commercial blocks to create innovative silhouettes, emulating bedding features while retaining functionality and wearability – the fundamentals of menswear. 

This technique is developed by using half-scale toiles, digitising, and manipulating patterns on Lectra and prototyping designs in CLO3D to inform a more sustainable and less wasteful streamlined workflow. A tonal colour palette has been utilised to draw attention to the silhouette of garments and emphasise drapes and creases, with soft finishes of ties and buttons paired with natural fibres, cotton and linens to imitate details of bedding.
