Sam and I decided to use Neoprene within our designs to emphasise the innovative aspect of our garment. Neoprene is a smart fabric and when pushed or embedded leaves an imprint, it is a family of synthetic rubbers that are produced by polymerization of chloroprene. Neoprene in general has good chemical stability, and maintains flexibile. The idea of short term memories being imprinted, recording an image, relates to leaving and imprinting marks on the Neoprene.

Neoprene is very hard to work with especially sewing it with a sewing machine that isn't made to sew Neoprene, henece the sign our tutor wrote once the machine was set up!!
