Sorry for the long gap between posts, I was …a) very busy and b) trying to figure out what to do with this website to make it easier to keep it updated. I’m going to make the posts much simpler, so I don’t feel panicked about having to write a whole bunch of stuff that [...]

This is a bit of a follow up from my last post. This is Shao-Yen Chen’s MA graduate collection as shown on Sunday night. It’s absolutely beautiful and I love all these irregular shapes made from built up fringing. As always I have a mini interview…. I am inspired by HUMAN BODY, MOVEMENT, NATURE, LANDSCAPE. I have interned [...]

I am still undecided on whether I should continue Knitkicks after my one year anniversary of running it, but the one thing that is keeping me going is when I stumble across or get sent amazing knitwear. As soon I received these pictures I went straight to my wordpress account to write this post up and [...]

I was browsing the old pages of Fashion 156 and remembered this image (see above) of Tim Ryan’s knitwear. I hadn’t actually seen any other pictures from his Autumn Winter collection yet….so I googled to see if there was anything else roaming around the Internet. I was pleasantly surprised to find he had gone big [...]

This is just a quick recap of the knitwear graduates 2009. Click on the below pictures to go to each designers interview. I’ve just got to say that there has been such an immense amount of talent this year and it was really inspiring to look through everyones collections. If this doesn’t inspire the next batch of graduates [...]

Makepiece; Ethical Knitwear

I love it when I come across ethical designers because I can appreciate the extra efforts and thoughts they have put into their designs. I once had to do an ethical project at uni which was truly a pile of shit to say the least. It made me realise that ethical design is so much [...]

Written by jenjarvis. Posted on May 8, 2009. Filed under Artistic Knit, Fringing, Ladders, Ruffles, Stripes. Tagged catwalk knit, Juliana SIssons, knitting, knitwear. 4 Comments.

This is definitely a long awaited post. I discovered Juliana Sissons way back in February when her collection was featured on dazed digital and have had it on my to do list for ages. Although late, this post is probably well timed as she will be showing her collection at the Brighton Frocks Emporium 22nd to [...]

So I was flicking through my march issue of Vogue, which I only just got yesterday and I discovered this amazing knitted piece by Chanel. However, It just seems so un-Chanel to me. Anyone else think it looks more like it fits into a Mark Fast collection? Its a random knitted piece in the middle [...]
