Loro Piana
Knit Design Award Competition
Represented NC State's Wilson College of Textiles in the 2022 edition of the Loro Piana Knit Design Award Competition. Collaborated with my teammate, Anne Graf, to create a unique and innovative knitted product and fabric collection. These were designed to fit the challenge presented to us by the brand, and produced with Loro Piana yarns. We presented the collection to the Loro Piana team and a jury of leading industry members.
Design Brief
Reinvent the Traveler Jacket.
This is a time of rediscovery.
As we are rediscovering, our spirit and senses awaken, are reactive and full of life and energy.
Our curiosity brings us to explore near and far away places and look at ourselves and our surroundings with different eyes.
We have adapted to new means and tools and have evolved.
Rediscovery makes us aware.
Rediscovery gives us a new and fresh perspective.
Rediscovery of our great common heritage and of our historical and social roots.
