Craig Lawrence "new collection, using an unusually supple yarn called Kyototex. The slashed Gaga-approved knits from past seasons have been tightened for spring, with a slinky silhouette akin to a mermaid’s tail. In fact, all the dresses are inspired by a siren’s call—like a metallic-green gown with pleat-like ladder stitches or a white dress streaming with chopped yarn that literally billows up a storm in the wind”
Craig Lawrence inspires me through his use of materials, creating mermaid like figures through the use of knitted fabrics. When thinking of knitted fabrics you would think of thick chunky knits, not something sleek and close to the body as it as seen in Craig Lawrence collection, this inspires me to use knit as a delicate fabric in my project instead of using as a chunky fabric. I could also look at the structure of wool and how this contributes to the rock formation.
Its made me think about weaving and also using rug canvas and wool to create a weird texture, and also trying to create a delicate fabric.
