Crochet to go...

I cannot count the amount of times a friend and I have given voices to various Pigeons whilst eating al fresco on the streets of London. Here are the ingenious works of Laurel Roth who's set named 'Biodiversity Reclamation Suits for Urban Pigeons' consists of wholly wonderfully designed little fancy pants garments. Each bird is even given its own name and theme. Now wouldn't making knitted outfits for these birds of flight be a perfect end use to my degree? I thought so too.

Playing the Field...

After getting back to grips with my Abercrombie project it seems I am now channelling an 80's American High School student in my fashion preferences. I choose not to phase through trends as quickly as others, but rather add to my collection of small obsessions every now and again, and I have a feeling this one is a keeper. Anything that vaguely resembles Breakfast Club swing shirts and Gilbert Grape oversized tees has my heart all a flutter. And just as this fancy is reaching its peak, along comes Karla Spetic. Awash with pastel colours and unconventional cuts this collection is far from sickly sweet. The bold two ply sweaters and sharply cut tailored jackets give a gentle push into 80s chic and I have fallen hard for her orange person print two piece. I think she's channeling what I'm channeling...

The Art of Keeping Warm...

Just as I was getting excited about ditching the coat and gloves from my daily routine with the oncoming of Spring, along comes Missoni’s AW10 collection that makes me want to jump right back into cold blustery days with streamlined layered looks to die for. Never failing to provide the most sumptuous of knitwear, Missoni has succeeded in providing us with such perfect, thrown together looks you need the whole collection in your wardrobe in order to recreate it! I see what they did there…

Louise Goldin - FW Highlights...

Being a knitwear student, Louise Goldin was on my radar the second her yarn clad models debuted her first collection in SS08. I feel quite a strong patriotism towards her as she flies the flag for British knitwear talent and her AW10 collection hasn't left me disappointed. Her satisfyingly technical pieces once again grace the London catwalks, this time influenced by ''space military'' yet developing the shapes she so loves to use. Her quilted geometrical themes interspersed with leather and fur prove that knitwear can not only be the sole fabrication of a whole outfit, but it can also be super flawless and bang on trend...
