  • Rebecca Marsden – Womenswear Knitwear

    A practice driven by exploring moments of pressure and release has led to the development of a body of work that focuses on luxury performance knitwear garments. 

    Combing structure and moments of suspension, this collection has been developed and documented in an aerial dance context.
