Spinexpo

This term we were really lucky to be offered an extra project alongside our main module. This was set by Sophie Stellar for a trade show called Spinexpo, similar to the pitti filati show we visited but alot bigger and in Shanghai! We were given a brief on the types of fabrics required to fit the trends for spring/summer 2012. As a group of around 15, we produced garments, accessories and lengths of fabric. The show was held 8th-10th of march so hopefully we will see some pictures of Sophie's stand soon but in the meantime this is what I made..

Close up of fabric as it was being knitted, the loops were cut to create the fringe effect
In total It took about 40 hours to knit and about a day to put together but I loved doing it, it was a really great opportunity and a chance to do something a bit different!
