摘要

A UK student has used London's urban environment as inspiration for the cloth of a bespoke tweed jacket, dyed using the city's naturally occurring substances, rust and oil.rnChris Pollard, a final year Fashion Promotion and Imaging student showcased his Urban Estate Tweed concept at the Savile Row tailor Huntsman on May 8.rnThe design utilises Huntsman's rich experience with tweed and combines classic with contemporary. Urban Estate Tweed references now defunct dyeing methods, as tweed traditionally used pigments such as peat soot for yellow and lichens for green, which were obtained from the surrounding area. The jacket incorporates a unique silk lining printed using a digital and photographic technique.
