Unique Properties: Temptation of the black. Combine with different textures of the black fabric and a touch with golden accessories. Different textures of the fabrics can make the whole collection more interesting. Not only one way to wear, mix and match the style depends on the feeling of the day. Handmade knitwear withe crochet gives more flavour to the collection. All together to make this temptation collection, to make you fall into it.
Dimensions & Packaging: Width 40cm X Depth 35cm X Height 170cm
Tags: Women’wear , hand knitted sweater, Tailor made,
Production Technology: I used many different textures of the fabrics in this collection to make it attractive. Very thin plastic fabric combined with thick jersey, hand knitted and crochet sweater, the cutting of the patterns and the ways to wear.
Design Challenge: Research for the right tone with different textures of the black fabrics and sew together, combined hand knitted and crochet together with special knitted pattern.
Research: After research, started play with the fabrics to make the perfect match combination. Confirmed the style and started the pattern marking and tryouts. And then research the yarns for the sweater and play with the different patterns to match the collection style.
Inspiration: The inspiration of this collection is about Rothbart transformed his daughter to look like Odette and try to temptation the prince. The black with evil, sexy temptation. Black is a mystery colour to me, it is really good with this magical moment.
Project Duration: 2020 collection in HongKong
Operation Flow: Research of the different textures of the fabrics, Create patteren blocks for each style and fitting. it is insteresting to use with non-usual fabrics. A few knit and crochet patterns need to be done before start to make the knit sweater.
