Geo Jeans

Patterns worked into denim.

A collection of geometric patterns, layering shape and texture, worked on a cannibalised pair of darkwash denim jeans. There are eighteen designs in total: six flat shapes, three 3D shapes, three mixed shape designs and six linework designs.

Geo Jeans was my third embroidery collection, and entirely improvised in comparison to loveforms and Archetypes. Each pieces was worked as a layout of macro shapes and then filled in however worked best in the stitching process.
