JENNIFER JARVIS

Jennifer Jarvis was never far from the creative inspirations of London, as she born and raised in Kent. She studied at De Montfort university, graduating in 2008 and during her degree she fell in love with the endless possibilities of creativity within knitwear.

Jennifer's final graduating collection was selected out of hundreds of fashion students to be in the final gala show at graduate fashion week. Selected for the final three knit collections for the visionary Pringle knitwear award. Her collection was made up of over sized pleats in a palette of greys, black and red. The most successful piece being a luxurious hand knitted oversize coat.

Soon after she created the knitwear for the Felder Felder spring summer collection 2009, featuring modern pleated knitwear with inserts of silver leather and wrapped around pleated knits.

Her creative style is to create knits in unusual techniques which would not be thought possible. Her aim is to take the old granny stereotype out of knitwear and replace it with young, sexy and chic.

Jennifer is currently working on an ethical nettle knit project and as a full time side kick for Elizabeth Lau
