I feel like I always end up writing about work or about someone I know from work, but I really HAVE to share this as I’ve just seen the pictures and I cant believe how amazing this looks. These pictures are of the Mark Fast ‘Luminato’ ‘exhibition as part of [...]

Sorry everyone for the lack of posting, I’m in the middle of moving house/ am generally very busy. I’m actually starting to panick about the amount I have to write about, my computer is currently filled to the brim with pictures of knitwear. This is a quickie post…I did actually email the college for more [...]

I know it’s not knitwear, but I love a bit of macramé. It seems to be making a bit of a comeback lately. I’m pretty sure lots of graduates this year will have a bit of macramé in their collections. Its a brilliant craft, a bit time consuming but well worth it with the results. [...]

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 [...]

I have looked high and low for more pictures of Sandra Backlund’s new Spring/summer 2010 collection, but unfortunately I could only find the ones from Diane Pernets blog (http://dianepernet.typepad.com). I am pretty sure there are more pieces than the ones pictured below..guess I have to be patient and wait for them to pop up. This is her [...]

This season he has gone plastic and sparkly galore. Using red and white plastic tape to knit up voluminous and unusual garments inspired by the great British rainy summer, 3D crochet and royal court jesters. When I went to check up on what he created for this season I stumbled upon this link: http://www.chateaudegateau.com/ which [...]

End of New York Fashion Week…start of London Fashion Week! Which I’m more excited about because..well…it’s London and London is THE best. But anyways, I’m in love with these striped tops from the Alexander Wang collection as shown at New York. The knits remind me of those by Nottingham Trent graduates Naomi Barber- Rodgers (http://knitkicks.wordpress.com/2009/06/25/naomi-barber-rodgers/) and [...]

I thought I ought to get on to writing about fashion week collections before I get ridiculously busy and sleep deprived. Here is the first of the spring summer 2010 collections that has caught my eye….Ohne Titel. I am so glad Ohne Titel are still featuring knit in their collections, they are just so good at it. [...]
