Elemental


I'm working on different shapes this season, organic, unusual, unexpected shapes, trying to move away from the traditional school of "back, fronts, sleeves" and focus on fluidity and clothes that move with the body.
Clothes that fit those round little bundles, avoid gaps at tummys and backs, and swaddle in comfort.

I'm playing with sideways knitting, holding stitches, and deeply rippling necklines which evolve into sleeves with just a hint of shoulder shaping, exploring shapes which provide freedom of movement and cocoon the body.
