• I am fascinated by texture.
  

  By imitating various surfaces through the process of knit, combining contrasting textures and distorting scale and volume, I am able to create new surfaces which transform the simple silhouettes of my garments.

  This collection takes inspiration from animal skins, feathers and furs to create a flamboyant collection of one-off knitted garments with a sense

  of humour and a naive charm.
