Work work work...

Yesterday my tutorial really helped see what I have achieved so far and also what I want to progress to by the end of this project... it helped to set things straight in my mind and also see strategically where my weaker areas are and how I can improve them to display them to the best of my ability...I have been looking more into my research about 1940's make do and mend fashions - I came across some clothing ration books that you used to collect stamps for to exchange for new items of clothing...I love this idea as a way to slow down the fashion process and as a way of presenting my work in an interesting and unusual layout...






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.
