Jet8 Knitwear: Sampling Contextual Reference: Professional Practice Link



 

 

Produced by S. T. Dupont, Jet8 clothing is a contemporary, innovative and luxury French Brand. Jet8 came to my attention due to very recently starting to produce exclusively for Harvey Nichols. I was initially drawn in by the pattern within their knits; many of them relating brilliantly to my drawings and the pattern within my weave. I find the designs very optical (particularly within the first jumper), which I didn't think was possible within knit. Work specific to this would be a challenge for me to produce on the domestic sewing machines as it takes a lot of time to plan and is made though a programmed machine.

 I specifically love the amount of varied pattern within the last jumper, which is something that I did greatly within my weave. I would like to experiment with many different knit techniques (using punchcards that relate well to my initial drawings), within one knit sample. In terms of my previous post, I love the idea of using mohair to demonstrate the soft lines within my drawings and using a plain black wool to indicate the hard lines cutting up the image.
 
I could see my knit designs within a fashion company something similar to this.
