Alpaca jumper

This is a project that I developed from a sustainability project that I did last year. Making this jumper really moved on my knitting skills, it was really hard work but was completely worth it!

here's some of my sketchbook and my final jumper!

Italian Vogue

I found these editorials really motivating for my lookbook project but love them just as visuals for anything, i find the muted colour palette beautiful!

I found this designer on another blog and found her creativity highly inspiring. The way she created the shapes with the knit makes me want to experiment with padding and using meters of knitting to create as many interesting shapes as possible! I also love the contrast between these large shapes to the intricate pieces of crochet.

I love how textured these pieces are but most of all how creative, three dimentional knits can work well as menswear! I'd really like to know how they were made.

Here are a few of my final trend book pages!!

For my first project this year I had to design a look book inspired by what I thought would shape fashion trends in the near future. I decided to base mine upon new found medicines but used the human skeleton and 'old school' science as visual inspiration. I used knit to convey the colours and textured shapes of the collection. I wanted to make my samples as three dimentional as possible so I chose to experiment with materials such as plaster and even egg whites to create form once the samples were knitted. Here are a few of my favourite samples that I used to create my look book.
