Inspiration...

Posted by Zoe Fletcher on Tuesday, April 7, 2009
I love the designer Amy Twigger Holroyd and her knitwear label Keep and Share... her design philosophy "we offer unconventional - yet infinitely wearable - knitwear for both men and women. Each piece is designed to satisfy over time, and is lovingly knitted in the UK" really inspires me and I love the ethos of cherishing a much loved item that does not follow conventional trends. Her website is lovely with a simple layout really letting the photographs speak for themselves. She has recently branched out and has an amazing plan to launch "riot and return" a childrenswear label which you subscribe to for the growth of your child and 'rent' clothes until your child grows out of them... they can then be mended or adjusted or swapped...






ABOUT ME


Zoe Grace Fletcher Currently undertaking a PhD at Manchester Metropolitan University within the MIRIAD post-graduate department, I am beginning a practice based academic journey into British wool fibres and new technologies within knitwear design. Graduating with Distinction from a Masters in Fashion and the Environment at London College of Fashion, specialising in hand-knitting and the British Wool Industry, I have worked on a number of knitwear collections (personal and external companies), whilst freelancing and researching for a number of exciting projects. My work revolves around the idea of sustainable fashion from a knitted perspective and the different ways to achieve this incorporating the ideas of slow fashion into mainstream society. I love knitting. And wool. And double sided sticky tape.
