Statement

An exploration of Boho Punk fashions through the art of knitting. This capstone work showcases skills in textile arts projected through a fashion lens. Through hand and machine knitting, the work explores decay. Unraveling patches and crafted holes held together by gold safety pins, bring this fall collection of knitwear to a new audience.
