The 24 Hour Printed Top

Kathy O’Driscoll wanted her own unique, printed fabric to create a top to wear to two industry events…trouble was, she needed the fabric that very week! Step in Fashion-Enter and its amazing on-site fabric printing capabilities…

Kathy said: “I had a lightbulb moment and sent 100 of my own photos over to Callum and Jenny Holloway at Fashion-Enter on Wednesday morning. Callum formatted them and printed 3 metres of fabric for me that afternoon. 

“The parcel arrived at 11am Thursday morning . The print quality was stunning and the fabric handle and feel was perfect to work with. 

Kornit’s printing solutions lead the industry in resource efficiency, consuming 90% less water and emitting 80% less GHG than silk-screen.

“Selecting a thread colour was the trickiest part…

“I cut the fabric at 12 noon and made a top ready to wear to the De Montfort University Graduate Fashion Show that afternoon!

“Later, as I had plenty of fabric leftover, I made a dress which I wore to the JATC (Just Around the Corner) a trade show at Tobacco Dock in London, where I spoke with my colleague Simon Platts and held a “Responsible Sourcing Drop in” to help people through their sustainable journey. 

“Thanks to Fashion-Enter and Kornit Digital sustainable printing I have two unique garments with the lowest possible carbon footprint and zero waste!”
