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.
