So named after its wiry inspiration, Bantam Net's colour in the wire twists and diamond patterning, is created on the weft of the fabric. The ground has a soft sheen and jacquard quality, leaving the pattern to sit in a raised texture. Taken from a 2004 collection from Giles's own couture archives, this chicken wire design is unexpected, making the repetitive pattern deeply luxurious and original. The irregularities create the personality of this fabric, which is non-conforming, yet alludes to patterns depending on the viewer's eye.
