Yarn is Art themed Fashion Show

Turns out the folks over at Lion Brand Yarn are hard at work promoting the use of yarn in today's fashion (they might have a vested interest). Check out their latest post, featuring video from this year's contest fashion show, a showcase of up and coming designers from around the world. Holla, me likey!

 

Dress by Heather Orr

Heather Orr graduated with an MA from the Royal College of Art in 2009 and currently works as a freelance knitwear and textile designer in London. A fascination with texture and structure leads Heather to create tactile, luxurious, and unconventional fabrics using crochet, hand-knitting, and machine-knitting for application in the fashion industry. Using a crochet technique and rubber hoop inserts, this garment is constructed seamlessly using one continuous stitch. A key factor in Heather's designs is that the fabric dictates the silhouette of the garment. Scale and structure are fundamental components in this design. Heather's design was made with Cotton-Ease.
