Inside desinger’s mind
In summer 2020 I was massively inspired by origami knitting, it uses the technique of incorporating vertical and diagonal folds in the knitted fabric, which was first created by Margie in her original Origami Shawl design for Eisako Noro, which was inspired by paper folding and by the fabric designs of Issey Miyake. I was so intriguied by the result of just simple knit, purl and twisted stitches, since then I have been trying to figure out how different folding ratio will affect the fabric and it’s shape and Brette is my first attempt to understand this unique technique.
