Encode finds inspiration in barcodes, but not in the literal sense.  A barcode is usually taken as a symbol of a “product of society.”  Instead of simply taking barcodes and slapping it all over everything, I took inspiration from its linear qualities.  

The lines of a barcode, I think , could be seen as very parallel to that of the lines of run pantyhose.   I experimented with the idea of creating deliberate runs, using miss stitch techniques in the construction of the knit fabrics, and creating number-embossed elastic to subtly simulate products of society.
