style bubble steal

ok, so susie bubble found them first, but these brooke roberts pieces were just too good to not tell the world. knitted bits, sheer bits, CT scan patterns and a clever integration of those three things make for so called 'sportswear' that will have the laziest couch potatoe sprinting to the shop doors.
you'll have to beat me to it...


i think its evident that im a bit of a woollen worshipper, but forgive me for posting this adorable knitted skirt.. why have i never seen one before now?


im off to teach myself how to knit, maybe ill have one for next winter!

what in the name of woollens?!

i know its getting nippy, but come on, is this really necessary?!

craig lawrence: extreme knitter

you may already know of the lovely craig lawrence, hes young, but boy can that boy knit. his last collections have been amazing but unwearable, featuring mermaid dresses with mere centimetres of leg movement and bundles of tinselesque gold things head to toe.now finally, something with flair and functionality has emerged!
this was my favourite piece, its a good balance between dark and spangly, could be worn to suit most styles (dress it up with heels and leggings or down with skinnies, boots and a biker jacket) and the knit hangs in a way that flatters, it skims it doesnt sag. this would be a great addition to a religiously black wardrobe, or a great addition to mine.. hint.


heres a few of his earlier creations if you think youre brave enough


see, hes got me wondering if really, it might not be that bad to go out flashing my gold clad crotch, would it?


ok. maybe this ones just taking it too far,
unless youre fancy dress theme is tinsel of course.
