Gestural Marks
Body as Landscape
A capsule collection of knitwear developed around the concept of movement through structure, capturing the essence of the maker’s hand. Created in 100% merino wool, hand painted and manipulated through draping, with elements programmed with Shima Seiki Apex Technology.
Shown at Pitti Filati 2019, Florence, Italy. Sponsored by Zegna Baruffa.
The body is a landscape of rolling hills of cut edges.
Cliffs of jawline. Jutting brow.
Deep hollowing lakes of collar bones.
An arching sweep of the spine –
Ravines between your toes.
