BA (Hons) Textiles
Nicola Jones
Inspired by the vast urban cities we inhabit and the bold architecture within them, my Spring/Summer Knitwear collection focuses on strong lines, vibrant colours and rich textures. I have become fascinated by the way Lycra can completely change the shape and form of relatively simple knit structures, and I have allowed the yarn and techniques to shape and form the garments. My passion for fine gauge knitting and innovative yarns has given my work a really detailed intricate feel, and together with my new love for Lycra, has lead me to create a very sporty, feminine aesthetic. I hope to take the design skills, technical expertise and enthusiasm for colour that I have gained this year and develop them further at Postgraduate level, before embarking on a career in the knitwear design industry.
