home from home: the uncoventional knitter
'Home from Home' is inspired by caravans/portable shelters and how this can be translated onto the body. In collaboration with styling and communications student (2022) Nadia Girach, the project 'Home from home' has been presented in publication and video format following the process of a knitwear designer. 'An ode to Kate and a story of a modular garment that can be disassembled into different parts, or modules and reassembled at the wearer's will. This is generally achieved through a variety of fastenings.' - Girach, N (2022) Produced May 2022, Credits to Nadia Girach. Using knit, technical features have been adapted to create pullies, clasps and openings. Modular construction garments that fold away are influenced by flatpacks. The garment has been made from a natural insulator - British Lambswool and fused onto emergency blankets.
