g a traditional suit in knitwear, I wanted to play with specific suiting details that we inherently associate with classic “dressed” garments. Allowing to evoke the expression and to seek a balance allows us to see it as "just a garment" before necessarily recognising it as knitwear, whilst still utilising the unique qualities of knitwear. I found that knitwear holds so much untapped potential, both in the types of garments often produced in the knitwear category and in the nature of how it’s produced. It allows you to control every aspect of the garment; from fibre, to shaping within the garment, and changing yarn at every step of the process – something not feasible in cut-and-sew garments.

The whole collection was knitted as fully fashioned garments, meaning each garment produced little to no waste. The collection is made entirely from natural fibres, no synthetics, and dead-stock and vintage yarns were used as frequently as possible.

The sustainability aspect of being able to create low-waste garments without compromising on form or the cut of the garments was my main driver for choosing to create a knitwear collection made exclusively as fully fashioned garments. This is also why I found this exploration to be relevant, as a way of proposing an alternative visual expression to that often seen in knitwear.
