Summer has finally arrived in London!?

17 days at Julia's Studio

My work includes: Domestic machine knitting- garment shaping, textured pattern surface making. Linking- connecting strips of knitting. Finishing- pressing, cleaning up edges, mounting samples, and photo shooting. Winding yarns, industry machine sewing, and hand stitching into garment. Julia has a high standard of how she wants her knittings to be done, which is good for me to practice doing things in a professional sense. I was involved in the process from actual making to finishing, and organising them to be presented at Pitti Filati (yarn and knitwear fair at Florence, Italy ). Although I didn't get to design, I am glad that the work I have done are all related to my specialisation as a textile design student. Perhaps in a year or two I get to develop design for fashion houses or knitwear studios. Another aspect I learnt from this experience is that being reliable is important. There were a couple times that I failed to deliver it, but Julia was really patient with my error. Overall, she is quite pleased with my performance. Starting next week, I'm off to Jane's studio!

Maison Martin Margiela AUTUMN-WINTER 2012 / 'ARTISANAL' COLLECTION- Splendidly disturbing collection! I also like how they curated the runway show.

 

Tastefully Done

Though I don't know many architects, but Thomas Heatherwicks' pieces always catches my eyes. I like how he uses materials to create interesting structures; especially the ones with textured surface. Besides the exceptional work he designed, UK has given him so many opportunities to carry out his visions. Hope one day TW also has the courage and resource to breed those talents.
