Nia Harper
Through studying Fashion Knitwear Design, Nia has become interested in how knitted garments can be designed in a way that produces zero waste by using simple shapes such as the square and rectangle. Her collection, “Zero: Formations” is based on the idea of building garments from multiple repeated shapes, knitted to size and with fully finished edges. The rectangle shape recurs throughout the collection as the building block for each piece, joined together to create new structures. Rounded, swirling shapes have been formed on the body, drawing from sculptural and botanical references of Tony Cragg and Karl Blossfeldt to capture movement and energy such as a new leaf unfurling and curling tendrils. Repetition of shape in each garment is inspired by the repetition found in nature. The collection is knitted across 7, 10 and 12 gauge Dubied machines and linked along finished edges.
