Laser-cut textiles for MUSH

The project

Founded by Valeria in 2020, MUSH approaches fashion as a form of expression and communication linked to personal identity. Archicercle contributed to one of its collections by laser-cutting a range of fabrics and advising on how to adapt the designs to this fabrication technique.

The original designs are Valeria’s. Our contribution focused on bringing them into production: we advised on adapting the designs and garment patterns for laser cutting, then cut the fabrics in our studio. This was a collaboration based on an external design, with a specific role in preparing it for fabrication.

The adaptation work addressed the relationship between the shape of the cut-outs and the garment patterns. The documented aim was to balance the designs’ aesthetic expression with the functionality and strength of the patterns, keeping the drawn forms connected to their textile application.

The collection presented on the catwalk includes black and red garments with irregular openings and cut-out details. These negative spaces are part of the collection’s visual language, extending across different areas of the garments and translating Valeria’s designs into cut textile pieces.
