Gareth Pugh Knitwear Internship AW13/14
This season at Gareth Pugh I have been working on finale showpieces for the AW13 collection.
Made from bin bags, precisely cut, woven and knotted by hand.
"There isn't a bin bag left in E8!" laughed Pugh.
These particular ones were selected from the Dalston one-pound shop near his studio in London.
Trash transformed into treasure.

Gareth Pugh Internship SS13
This season I have been working on showpieces for SS13.
Textiles made from hand torn strips of silk chiffon and gaza sewn together in a repeat linear pattern.
"dresses descended into serrated drapes, so distorted and tactile in appearance that we wanted to reach out and touch them"

and Craig's childhood holidays to the seaside town of Felixstowe.
Sponsored by Swarovski Crystal, Craig incorporates Luxury Swarovski crystal yarn into show piece dresses.
Heat press Swarovski crystal is used in accessories. As well as the Swarovski crystal yarns, I've been knitting with his
signature iridescent yarn, kyototex and a new edition for SS12, Alcantara, a man-made luxury suede,
The garments are a mix of plain, lace hole and ladder stitch techniques often mixed with lycra yarn to give stretch and fit to the body.
