I am a recent fashion design graduate with a passion for knitwear and crochet. I currently run my own online store @fashionedbybeth which has a strong focus on handmade and sustainable clothing. While my degree taught me valuable pattern cutting and sewing skills, I am completely self-taught in knitwear including machine knitting which I utilized to make my final collection.
For this collection I paired my passion for knitwear and comfort clothing with my love for playing video games. Every garment has been designed for the user to get cozy on the sofa or in bed and play a video game, with every pocket fitting a handheld gaming console and design details such as finger holes to be able to press buttons and control joy-cons. There are no hard fastenings or harsh materials to make the clothing extra comfortable, and the prints and colours were influenced from 80s and 90s gaming graphics.
