UNRAVEL MOMU

Whilst in Antwerp I got the chance to visit the Fashion Museum, MoMu to see Unravel, Knitwear In Fashion. Although already seeing the video tour on A Shaded view, it didn't spoil the exhibition for me at all; making me feel confident that this won't for you either.

Of course the exhibition was packed with THE knitwear designer Sonia Rykiel, but it was also a great chance to see some unique pieces from Bruno Pieters, Rodarte, Alexander McQueen and Ann Demeulemeester (knitwear with metal chains!). It was also lovely to see fragile stockings and hoisery from various Belgian designers linking to the history of knitwear. 

My favourite part of all had to be the recreation of my favourite editorial styled by Panos Yiapanis for Another magazine. The outfit consists of four different hand knitted Sandra Backlund pieces, all layered on top of each other.

A definite must see if you find yourself in that area of the world.

Autumn/Winter 2008

Model: Natasha Poly

I'm such a fan of summer weather, but looking at this editorial, I want the winter back! Dressing up in every item of clothing you own and going for a brisk cold walk along a hillside, looking down at the sea below, wind billowing through your hair.

My favourite editorial this year, maybe even ever.

Another Magazine

Photographer: Craig McDean

Stylist: Panos Yiapanis

16th edition, Spring/Summer 2009

This special issue features British designers: Mark Fast, Louise Goldin, Mary Katrantzou, Craig Lawrence, Peter Pilotto.

And of course Tilda Swinton looking so incredible!

I think this ed is even more special to me as I found out that this how Panos and Louise met, and they are such a perfect design/style duo.

The way the outfits have been styled is so beautiful, I love clothes being styled upside down, wrong way round. Layering up pieces to make the silhouettes look longer and more dramatic.
