Nanna Van Blaaderen, More or Less

The sculptural handknitted collection ‘More or Less’ is inspired by organic forms, animal life and nature. Using thick woolen yarns in off-white colors, Nanna van Blaaderen experimented in combining knitting techniques with braidingtechniques. This resulted in various expressive garments of voluminous structures and forms. (Via Nanna Van Blaaderen’s website)

One weekend of making, stitching, creating, discussing and inspiring, the weekend is free and open to everyone, regardless of experience.

Edinburgh’s first ever ‘Pop-up” Stitch Lounge : 21st & 22nd May 2011, 10am-10pm

As part of the ‘No Concessions’ fashion season at Inspace, the Stitch Lounge is taking over the laboratory, bringing ‘makers’ and ‘players’ together for one weekend only to create some fast fashion. We’ve patterns at the ready, 10 Singer sewing machines raring to go, plus hundreds of meters of white fabric and a ton of clothes to customise. Everyone is encouraged to join in, experiment and get those little hands busy.

Punctuating the weekend, and just in time for Afternoon Tea too, the Stitch Lounge will host informal round table discussions by fashion industry specialists on Saturday and Sunday at 4:00 pm. Work in progress will go on display at 8:00 pm on Saturday 21st, and then on Sunday 22nd at 8:00 pm the weekend will conclude with an off-the-wall runway show, bubbly and live music. The shows about to start…

Supported by Singer. Part of the ‘No Concessions’ fashion|technology season.

Mike Gonzalez ss2011

LA based designer Mike Gonzalez, former designer and founder of label Mike and Chris, has branched out with his self titled label. The SS2011 collection is a mix of African inspired mud cloths and prints, sheer, geometric cut outs and there’s some military in there too. Personally I love this collection, especially the turbans. Check out his pre-spring/ summer collection over on his site, which isn’t quite as lovely as the SS collection but still has a few great pieces.

To Lee, With Love, Nick

Below is a new fashion film tribute to Alexander McQueen from photographer Nick Knight. The film featured on his impressive SHOWstudio is set to an exclusive track by Bjork. The trio collaborated many times over McQueen’s career so it seems a very fitting tribute.

‘This film is my way of speaking about a very unique and important person who changed my life. My desire was to speak in some way about the dark and the light contained within Lee, and within us all.’
