ClaireAnneOBrien//BoldTexturedForms
Claire-Anne is a textile designer specialising in knitting. Originally from Ireland, she has recently graduated from the Royal College of Art, 2010, with a Masters in Textiles.
Her work plays with technique and scale creating playful and tactile fabrics for interiors. This sculptural approach to textiles brings fabrics to life in three dimensionns through form exploration and furniture.
Inspired by elements of the knitted stitch itself, the structures are revealed and celebrated through exaggerated scale in bold and textured forms. Lambswool and sheepswool, in a mix of hand and machine stitches, are constructed into playful statements.

LanaSutra/ErikRavelo/Benetton

Provocatively and artistically, Erik Ravelo decides to show us the two points where the entities meet, where the colours merge into one another.The intersection of differences creates one shared point, new colour, binding emotion and moment.
"I believe that Lana Sutra really talks about coexistance, about living together. It is about interaction among cultures and people of different races and faiths. It's an ode; a homage to hybridization... " Erik RaveloTuesday, August 30, 2011

NannaVanBlaaderen/KnittedBodySculptures
"Fashion is so much more than a piece of fabric and a silhouette. Hard, soft, furry, smooth, rough, fine, open, closed, warm or cold, even the finest layer of textile can change the human figure from being naked and vulnerable, into being protected, strong or seductive..."
