The Ancient Egyptian Afterlife
As a knitwear designer, I am inspired by the nature and versatility of different fabrics and how their qualities can be used to advantage a design.
Through experimentation, a variety of fibres, yarns and incorporated materials are manipulated to alter the quality and mood in my designs.
My collection has been designed to interpret Ancient-Egyptian styles and influences into a range of knitted, garment-focused samples. Through the use of fine yarns, knit structures and laser cut sequins, the designs incorporate symbolised strengths and treasured possessions, resembling those that were entombed in preparation for the Afterlife.
