KNIT: stencils

Here are close ups of the knit samples I used in the Sibling project. As my research was inspired my Basquait, Street Art and Haitan Voodoo I decided to use spray paints and fabric paints on top of the knit.

I knitted a plain grey sample and used a stencil with fabric paint so I could have this beautiful 2 headed beast on the knit.

I was influenced by Jean Michel Basquait and used his image of a crown that I made a stencil of, then used fabric spray paint. It washes very well which I was rather surprised by.

LIVE PROJECT: Brooks Brothers

The brief for Brooks Brothers was to create an 8 look collection including some outerwear pieces with smart and casual looks. I chose to research into 1960s space age fashions and the beginning of the space race, looking at painters and artists from that era. Below are my mood board, line up and technical drawings.

KNIT: wired

Knitted wire, I managed to knit (after many different attempts with many different types and thickness' of wire) on my domestic knit machine, really malleable but does keep shape.
