WEEEF x Kelly Konings
For this special collaboration with weaving mill EE-exclusives and weeef i created a whole-garment woven football jersey. Mimicking a well known garment archetype that usually is not made in a woven fabric. Resulting in a wearable whole-garment woven 2d textile that holds the possibility to be worn as a 3D garment. Whole-garment weaving is a weaving technique where the entire garment is woven into one piece. Meaning the sideseams, embroidery details and so on are all woven in one go. After weaving the garments are carefully washed, cut, and ready to be worn.

Inspired by the symbolic use of graphics and colours in football jerseys, the top and bag show an infinity symbol and a globe, that express how simplified production chains and the local production of textiles and garments can play an important role in regenerative and circular design, beyond generations!
