GEORGESTROOD

George is based in Bristol, United Kingdom. She studied at Bristol UWE and graduated in 2009. Her collections are produced in United Kingdom.

Recently graduating from Bristol UWE, studying Fashion and Textiles, I have discovered that my strengths lie in developing and creating interesting and exciting new textures and stitches, combining fabric manipulation and knit design. Although I am predominately a hand knit, knitwear designer, and capable of designing my own hand knit patterns. I am equally confident designing and pattern cutting woven fabrics. I have successfully shown my collection ‘decades of elegance and fashion’, at London Graduate Fashion Week and the UKHKA knit and stitch show in London. I studied vintage hand knit patterns and classic underwear to form the structure to both my woven and knitwear designs. I then experimented with hand knitted textures, techniques and yarn variations, such as knotted and knitted strips of jersey to create a contemporary fusion of style.
