Topic: Differences

From a physical point of view opposites can attract but also reject. In chromatics there are contrasts – the most striking are resulting from black and white. In classical logic, the law of non-contradiction applies and according to philosopher Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel, differences are not mutually exclusive but are even mutually dependant. Differences are arising from contradictions and opposites but they still belong together.

Be creative: By choosing “Differences” as a topic for the Golden Shirt Award 2016, we want to inspire textile decorators to deal with these strains. Design textiles full of opposites and differences and reunite pros and cons in a creative way!

Take part in the Golden Shirt Award 2016 and proof your creative and technical skills in textile decoration! We are also explicitely inviting young professionals of the industry to bring in fresh ideas and to give new impulses.

The challenge: Create a completely new mix by combining at least two of the decoration techniques embroidery, print (screen, transfer and digital print), flock, rhinestone and laser branding! Try it out and design a piece of clothing, a bag, a banner or another useful textile product.
