JANTAMINIAU

this designer is amazing. jan taminiau. i was actually looking for his autumn/winter collection from 2007 but can’t find it anywhere online! these are just as beautiful but the 07 collection oF garments could be worn two ways meaning each one came out twice on the catwalk, i shall keep an eye out for the others but in the meantime i think these are pretty easy on the eyes.

pam hogg

just had to post this. it’s pam hoggs autumn/winter 2010 collection. first and second to last picture are definately favourites. these are incredible, i love the layers of tulle and the mix between the innocent ballerina and rock rebel.

made to measure,

these are a few from the mark fast autumn/winter collection 2009. his spring designs are pretty fabulous as well but i definitely still love all the winter collections from last year

he knits the pieces on a domestic machine and then fits them to the body. i love how personal this makes the garment to the wearer and although his work doesn’t fit right in with sustainable fashion, i love the idea of it being made to measure. this is one of my main inspirations for this slow fashion project. i want to create pieces with this concept behind them, sculpting something that will form an emotional attachment between the wearer and the garment.

“Knits have a more intimate relationship with the wearer than tailoring or corsetry. The garment takes on the shape of the person inside it, and the finished look is always a collaboration between the two.” – Claudia Croft on Mark Fast, Sunday Times Style, 11th October 2009
