Keeping up appearances

Following on from China i caught my flight to Bangladesh, rounding up my trip with five more days of factories, mills, shops and in car sight seeing!!
This time i didn't have as much pressure on me than as my last visit to Bangladesh. I had no new styles to put into work and was just there to push developments, discuss future plans, and to keep contacts with the people i had met on my last visit.
This kind of visit is vital in order to maintain a strong working relationship in order to ensure everyone works to the same page to get beautiful samples.
Below are some images i took in the factories and mills. The scale and technology of some of these machines is magnificent, its amazing to see how a garment is made from start which is cotton in its purest form to the finish.
I was also there to view new mills and factories. To explore what their abilities are and what they can bring to the table in terms of quality and newness.
Some factories have the ability to produce some really cool dying effects and washes.
Below is my favourite garment wash of the trip by far. A psychedelic sprayed skinny pant that the manager has promised me a pair of!! Sadly i wont hold my breath, when you visit mill and factories as a designer they will tell you anything to get your business when all you really want is for them to make your samples...on time...and correct!!
These trips are always so educating and fill me with enthusiasm and idea to go back and keep on designing!!
