When researching textiles artists, Nanna van Blaaderen
really caught my eye. Nanna van Blaaderen is a Knit designer, fashion designer
located in Amsterdam, Netherlands. Nanna's latest knitwear collection 'More or
Less' is inspired by organic form, animal and nature. Using thick woollen yarns
in off-white colours and experimented in combining knitting techniques with
braiding techniques. I am really inspired by Nanna's work, I find it very
beautiful in the way they sit on the body, and the scale of the work
looks very playful yet sophisticated.
"Fashion is so much more than a piece of fabric and a sil-houette.
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."- Nanna van
Blaaderen.
Her work, in my opinion, looks elegant on the human body, although alone as
an object looks very structured. I love the way the work is displayed and
photographed I feel it is subtle but effective.
