Emdal Colorknit
I’d first like to thank Ditte (http://spotontextiles.wordpress.com ) for giving me the heads up on this designer…she’s actually given me loads of people to blog about now, it’s going to keep me busy typing away for a while.
So this Danish label is called Emdal Colorknit and the designer behind the label is Signe Emdal. Signe Emdal has previously working for The Danish knitting [...]
Matalafria
This knitwear label sent me over images of their work a little while ago. The label is a Barcelona based knitwear brand called Matalafria. Each piece is made from programmed knitting machines to achieve new modern and innovative dimension to their designs. The collection is an experiment of volumetric structures in Merino wools that sculpt around the [...]
Derek Lawlor
It’s funny how you randomly come accross things when you’re browsing around the net, I somehow ended up here: http://www.quocvo.nl (amazing photography work) and found the picture below. This has got to be one of the best images I have seen of Derek Lawlor’s work so far, the negative effect works really well with his garments. [...]
Jan iú Més

Neither designers studied fashion design, this label is he brainchild of a graphic design and fashion stylist graduate, which can be seen a good thing as they would have an entirely different [...]
Clare Tough Autumn Winter 2009/10
I saw Clare Tough’s look book for her Autumn Winter 2009/10 collection quite a while back, although I can’t remember where now. It’s been on my long waiting list of things to post about.
This time its a mixture of woven Lingerie and knitwear. I quite like the large entrelac knit jumpers put I’m not sure [...]
Missoni
A question that always pops up in job interviews for me is “If you would work for any company who would you work for?” and my answer every time is Missoni. Now if only I could speak Italian so I could move out to Italy and live in their factory.
The label is currently run by [...]
Emma Bell
As promised, here is the second part of my Emma Bell post on her more recent Autumn Winter collection. The collection took inspiration from a recent trip to Asia where Emma witnessed just how poorly treated the animals are. As I take regular trips to the Philippines I can relate to this as dogs over [...]

Photoshoot
I decided to have a photoshoot for my graduate collection seeing as I never got round to doing one at the time. I recall last minute throwing my collection at my flatmate and demanding she pose for me in the corridor of the fashion department to get some pictures for my portfolio.
I really needed to [...]
