This isn't some sort of a mysterious time lapse rewind thing. I am not in fact still trapped in my plastic bubble at Earls Court. I am however still laden with many MANY graduates still to harp on about. I'm not about to cease all coverage just because the actual 'week' (or three days actually…) is over. I've had a few teary emails from graduates, expressing their fears over the future, questioning everything from their degree choice to the way their work was presented with varying levels of content. I can't offer any sound advice other than a virtual sympathetic nod. I will however do my best to put the 'feelers' out there for the grads that I'm into and in any case, a collection's lifespan shouldn't be restricted to a few days of frantic online activity when so much work has gone into it all…
Now, onto kicky knitters or knitty kickers… I feel like this is the territory of knit-a-licious blog Knit Kicks but I think she was out of town when all the graduate shows were going on so I'll very politely take over her spot for this post…
The Nottingham Trent show was loooong but the fruits of the show really shone when it came to its knitwear, an esteemed course at the school. Somehow I figured out how to take a half-decent camera shot so that close-ups of the technically advanced knits were possible. Here's a piccy piccy round-up of the knitwear grads that caught my eye… or the snap of my camera….
Emma Philpot – I love the lines of ruching created in the skirt here with volume accentuated at the hips…
Phoebe Thirlwall – I loved her work from the Rankin shoot and from the show , she's still one of my favourite knitwear grads working subtle coloured ribbing into art nouveau-esque patterns…
Samantha Brooke – Spinal cord and antomical-inspired shapes…
Heewon Park – The delicate knits were really pushed to the brink here as some were ultra ultra translucent…
Jo Bee – I love the frayed edges of the lurex strapless dress…
Emma Philpot is the most adorable name and that skirt of hers is awesome. Heewon Park’s knits are extremely intriguing and interesting. Super post!
this is a great and useful post. I’m a knitwear designer and think these clothes are absolutely amazing. Good job! Thanks

i’m not really a fan of knitwear. i kind of feel it’s old. but this collection is great. never knew that knit could have such intricate designs and shapes.
Susie, I have become addicted to your blog after learning of stylebubble from a shout out on http://thrifteye.blogspot.com/. I love your writing style, witty humor, and risky, contemplative introspections on all things fashion. You are an inspiration!
that first skirt is gorgeous! I wish my knitting could come out to something like that instead of the pile of scarves that seems to get higher and higher every winter.
