Final Image

This is my image from my photo shoot, it represents me as a digital print designer and knit wear designer. I really can't believe i have made whats displayed in this image. I feel it is such an achievement getting to this stage in my fashion career so far. It really shows my title for my final major project which is Natural Fusion, the combination of the chunky knit being the natural and organic side, also the flurorescents in the dress are the fusion part stripe and racing across the dress causing this natural fusion between the complete opposites.

The Evolution of Chunky Knit

This is my extreme chunky knit, i am firstly knitting on a knitting machine first then i have a knitter knitting it into chunky cardigans covered in cable knit and various other knitting techniques. These are sections of a cardigan that weighs about 20kg, so it is a serious work out wearing it. The collection then evolves into extremely large and over the top chunky knit to wrap around the models. The knit has been inspired by the starting point of nature’s wood/grains. The knit seems to be growing and almost becoming an organic mass yet still slightly wearable.

Although his passing will obviously put a standstill on future designs, Alexander McQueen’s design legacy lives on through this upcoming 2010 Fall Collection from McQ by Alexander McQueen. Following a grunge-inspired aesthetic, the line is highlighted by the use of patches, flannel, knits and stripes throughout an extensive array of relaxed garments. Images of the lookbook are offered below.
