About
As an ambitious final year fashion design student specialising in knitwear, I am intrigued in the experimental process through using a variety of yarns and machinery to create unique effects within knitted fabric. I am also passionate about how these can then be used within garments to create designs that stand out and modernise knitwear.
This project was a live brief to create a 12 piece capsule collection for the Ellesse SS24 Sartoria range. My concept juxtaposes ballet and ski and explores how people out-grow their interests and move onto something new. This led to me re-interpreting key athleisure pieces such as tracksuits, outerwear and cropped styles whilst merging knitwear with waterproof fabrics
