Melting
A zero-waste knitwear concept that brings structure, embroidery and finishing into one material system.
Form through
process.
Knitting, water-soluble lace and embroidery are integrated into a single construction process. Embroidered edges follow garment seams, removing separate cutting and finishing steps.
Controlled washing dissolves the lace to change the material's stiffness, texture and form. The result is an adaptable approach to knitwear that combines structural versatility with expressive surface design.
