Tyvek Garments and Tyvek Belt Bag from Polish Artist Agnieszka Sukiennik

Agnieszka Sukiennik is an artist living and working in Warsaw, Poland, using Tyvek for her illustration and fashion design work. We are happy to feature her work as she is certainly using Tyvek in an innovative fashion. Her work includes Tyvek belt bags and various Tyvek garments, including Tyvek dresses, Tyvek tops, and pants with Tyvek accents in colorful, striking designs.

Agnieszka provides this description of her work with Tyvek:

I am an artist who uses Tyvek as a medium to create illustrations. I focus on Tyvek1443R. In my opinion, it's the best kind of product to wear, because it's breathable and lightweight. Tyvek is an amazing, paper-like fabric which easily accepts acrylic paint, permanent pens or print. I like to combine Tyvek with other fabrics like natural leather or knitwear.

My first collection ILLUSTRATIONS IN MOTION includes 11 Tyvek garment creations with various illustrations. In 2012, in cooperation with Coiffure Artist Jaga Hupalo, I held a fashion performance that took place on Warsaw’s streets. It created a brand new artistic experience. The main inspiration was an idea to take art out of the gallery space (or usual catwalk scenery) on to the streets. During this event a blend of Art, Fashion and Modern Design, all underlined by subtle understatement, confronted bystanders face to face.

My other project is a Tyvek belt bag with handmade acrylic painting. The unique picture of a colorful and charming Robin in a magic garden was inspired by the book "The Secret Garden", written by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The external surface of the belt bag is covered with illustrations and the internal surface is covered with handmade typography of "The Secret Garden" quotations.

The whole process of creation starts with a lot of sketches. I drew the illustration, designed the belt bag, choose the right fabric and met my dressmaker. In this project I decided to combine
