I will present my latest research "plicatures " on silk twill.

Etymologically, from the Latin plicatura, deplicare meaning: bend, wrinkle. I "invented" the word plicature to talk about my pleating technique on silk which combines pleating, tyeing and dyeing. This term is also used in the medical field (see Medical Dictionary), it is a surgical procedure of folding on itself a tissue or organ. "A plicature shortens a member or cause the joining of two bodies. It is carried out in particular on the muscles and their tendons or the gastrointestinal tract."
