Specialism:

Knitted Textiles

The structural elements of the collection replicate spine, ribcage and wing details. My advanced understanding of knitting machinery allows me to push conventional techniques to their limits to create exciting contemporary fabrics for fashion.

I have developed my own experimental technique for this collection and applied the fabrics to bag design, although further application for the technique is limitless. I will be developing the fabrics further in the future into accessories for the body and products for the home.
