XXXXII: A 2013 Preview


Here are some detail images of garments -both knit as well as woven, from my 2013 collection. The work will no longer bear the title "Handmade," anymore, as those previous concepts have shifted and grown. This project still includes my previous stand-alone artisan work. However, it also has several new aesthetic standpoints, ideas and sartorial notes to bring forth.



Hand knitted lambswool, with silk and cotton thread embroidery.



Beetroot and tea dyed felted wool yarn.



Reappearance of sari silk yarns.



Wovens: Crépe de chine, tea-stained muslin, raw linen, wool piqué and felt. 




The precedent 2013 lookbook will be released shortly.
