Rosalind Crawford

Rosalind Crawford's DJCAD graduate collection drew inspiration from Perth train station's Victorian architectural details and it was wonderful to see in her source books, sketchbooks and final knitwear the journey from the source of her inspiration to the final pieces.

Shengwei Wang

 

Shangwei Wang graduated in Knitwear in 2011 from London Central St Martins, Shengwei's work is unique in appearance and texture resulting from experimentation with unconventional materials and form.

 "I am really really picky with materials, and I cannot always find something nice in the market, so the best way to do it, is create my own fabric, and knitting for me is like a charming day dream time, I can put all my emotion together as the yarn, and knit it." Shangwei Wang

Tim Ryan

 

With dresses like the bunting and pinata's of Confetti System, Tim Ryan's designs are celebrations with wonderful movement and texture they look great fun to wear. Tim initially learnt how to make clothes on his mothers domestic sewing machine and design from vintage 1970's editions of vogue.

“Whether it’s Ireland, London or New York, every country has an attitude to fashion. What is in in one place is out in another, so, it is about a character that loves her clothes, whether they are in or out of fashion. And it is relevant now because the notion of acquiring new is no longer right. It is about what is beautiful, flattering and feminine. There is a joyousness about it.” Tim Ryan
