I have decided to make this for the final piece.

Experimenting with different fabrics and colors
I got cotton poplin dyed in yellow brown and orange brown and then twisted and draped to make a jacket. I liked this one, especially the colors and the way it was changing. This gave a very 'paghri' look.
In this I twisted on one sleeve and then took that fabric to other end to translate into pocket. This i found interesting in the way it was draping from sleeves to the pocket.
In this i experimented with striped fabric to see what effect is achieved when they are twisted. this piece can be worn over a t-shirt or a jacket too.
I have used wire inside this fabric to keep the shape stable. Also, i like the ombre dye effect of the brown from dark to light and den again to dark. This piece is also wearable
These all i have done in dyed knit. i got them dyed in green brown and blue brown and then joined them alternately. twisting knit was interesting and i got the idea of making a piece without front openeing unlike the others I have done as it is stretchable.
Other explorations with different fabrics.
This i thought can be made into an accessory.

Twist with muslin on jacket
Muslin twisted loosely on the jacket. Again the twisted part can itself be a jacket with a wire inserted inside to make it stable. Or instead of draping on a classic jacket, the silhouette can be derived from the area/shape the twists create.
For eg. this can be a sleeveless jacket and the lower one a short waistcoat.
Thinner twists tried on jacket - on neck to form a collar which can be buttoned on one side or as a decorative element on shoulder. These are comparatively looser twists.
Twists as a part of the jacket to form shawl collar or wrap-around jacket collar.

Twists translated on jacket
In this part, I have explored twists in different fabric, on a classic jacket to see how it would actually work out. I have also worked withe thinner twists.
Twisting a narrow fabric on sleeve jacket and converting it into pocket. I was thinking, it can be made as an accessory too.
Twists into pockets. Explored in different fabrics. Green is chambray cotton, Blue is denim cotton, and brown is corduroy.
Twists on a part of a jacekt.
Twists in leather, waterproof fabric and two-color denim. The pocket was with thinner over-lapping twists which I can use as detail over a sleeve or in a shirt.
I personally did not like the leather and water-proof fabric twists as they werent actually giving the turban look and also leather was very thick to handle.
I was also thinking of making just the green part as a jacket with wire inside to make it stand, which can be worn as waist-coat or accessory over a garment.

Explorations with twisted fabric
In this exercise I have taken a long piece of fabric - 10 metres and twisted and draped it on the dummy, trying out new designs. The inspiration is from turban.
This can be translated into waist-coat.
This can be re-worked on waistcoat or sleeveless jacket.
Sleeve explorations - can be used as accessory over jacket.
Fabric draped from neck, twisted and converted into pocket on the jacket. Can be used as an accessory on the jacket.
Twisting and overlapping of various twisted fabrics - leather, heat set. crushed fabric etc.
