15-Love

2025

A capsule knitwear collection that revitalises the use and importance of manual craft and traditional knitwear techniques in sportswear. My research journey circled around the rich fibre history of sportswear, the socio-economic catalysts of the 80s casual movement and the modern existence of queerness in athleisure and sporting couture. The collection is an obvious extension of my own wardrobe and acts a personal exploration of aesthetics, perfectionism, knitwear and sporting mimickery.
