Future of fashion materialised

UTS will host a demonstration of the Shima Seiki WHOLEGARMENT knit machine and a panel discussion with industry-leading fashion professionals.

Shima Seiki WHOLEGARMENT knit machine

UTS School of Design recently procured the latest Shima Seiki WHOLEGARMENT® knit machine for its knit lab. 

This seamless knit machine creates entire garments in one piece, greatly reducing yarn and material waste.

Highly skilled technicians can program a wide variety of designs and knit styles into these machines, which can support made-to-order and bespoke garment production.

Dr Lisa Lake, director of the Centre of Excellence in Sustainable Fashion & Textiles (a UTS partnership with TAFE NSW) will facilitate a panel discussion with fashion designer Gary Bigeni and textile researcher Dr Doris Li.
