通過研究古代材料，染色和生產技術，並將其與當前和未來的技術相結合，我們為創新和可持續的時尚發展了未來的概念。這就是為什麼我們花時間在台灣研究atayal部落使用的本地材料和染色技術並從事游牧紡織品的原因。
我們的目標是製造具有本地技術且不浪費的服裝。我們首先收集本地材料，然後學習如何使用它們。例如，樹皮是人類（除了動物皮以外）首先要佩戴的材料之一。然後我們去看看如何以新的方式使用這些材料。通過完美地圍繞身體塑造樹皮，我們不僅獲得了無浪費的服裝，而且還以緊身胸衣的形式為這種舊材料創造了新外觀。受人類肌肉的啟發，我們在樹皮的第二層皮膚上形成了衣領狀。橙色來自他們仍然使用其染色的本地根。我們還使用了當地的愛玉果凍。在我們第一次到台灣旅行時，我們發現它具有粘合能力。我們在荷蘭的工作室中繼續進行了這項研究，並於今年獲得了結果。通過以這種自然方式粘合苧纖維，就完成了最終研究。所有這些設計都是100％天然的。
今年的主題是“游牧紡織品”。泰雅人曾經是一個部落，在他們不得不分裂以生存之前。這就是為什麼許多“子”部落根據情況和喜好衍生出各自的服裝風格的原因。借助其傳統服裝製作技術與基於身體的服裝建模方式相結合，這些材料已從過去傳到了未來。非常適合此次駐村的游牧主題。
By researching ancient materials, dyeing and production techniques and combining them with current and future technologies, we develop future concepts for innovative and sustainable fashion. That is why we spent time in Taiwan to research the indigenous materials and dyeing techniques used by the Atayal tribe and worked on “Nomadic textiles”.
The goal for us was to create garments with indigenous techniques and without waste. We started by harvesting local materials and then learned how to work with them. For example, tree bark is one of the first materials to be worn by humans (in addition to the animal skin). Then we went to see how we could use these materials in a new way. By perfectly shaping the tree bark around the body, we not only achieved a garment without waste, we also created a new look for this old material in the form of a bustier. Inspired by the human muscles we created a second skin of the skin of trees in the shape of a collar. The orange color is from a local root that they still dye with. We also used a local Aiyu jelly. During our first trip to Taiwan we discovered that it had an glueing capacity. We continued this research in our studio in the Netherlands and brought back the results this year. By bonding raw ramie fibers in this natural way, a final study was created. All these designs are 100% natural.
The theme of this year was “Nomadic textiles”. The Atayal used to be one tribe before they had to split up to survive. That is also why there are many “sub” tribes that all have their own style of garments based on their circumstances and preferences. With the help of their old techniques in combination with Body-Based Modeling, these materials traveled from the past to the future. Perfectly suited to the Nomadic theme of this residence.
