Drapey T - "Thieves III"

My attempt at a drapey T- with hood. Made from super light weight dingy gray sky rayon cotton. Shoulder buttons hold up sleeves and convert shirt into tank. Pocket sheared for drapey look. Hood is amply cut.

waffle biker

This waffle knit pullover "biker" jacket will be ready for production in Spring 09. We are really excited about it.

Cubist....

I had been working with the idea of big pockets like this for a while. There is still some questions about proportions but I think this is a good final design.

the waffle shirt

Michael with basic waffle shirt with darts. All finishing, including serging is on the outside

the cowl...

This is a the famous "cowl" shirt. The neck piece is long enough to cover the whole head. This has not gone to the sample-maker yet but would like to have a few made in the next couple weeks. Since this was designed i have found lots of examples of other contemporary designers working with cowls or cowl-like knits. here are two versions...

my version of Raskolnikov's shirt

This is my version. The actual garment, being made now, has a fully finished inside. The elbow patches are larger and are outlines in red 5 needle stitching.

slashing

Slashing was a 16th century fad inspired by the clothes of soldiers. Here is an hoody style that was inspired by slashing. I had a lot of the dark red and light red fabric so I used the light red for the pocket linings...

The final yoke shirt

Not bad but, it finally made sense when we tried a super light weight dingy gray (with hint of purple) rayon on top of a charcoal gray. The fabric and is shear and looks like it's about to peal off. The only problem was having product made. Susan, my manufacturer, said she couldn't cut that kind of "yoke" pattern. So we did it by hand. See picts of Michael cutting out the graded "yoke" pieces. Threads were sewn across yoke for a kind of quilting affect. In the end we decided to keep them then. I now want to sell the shirts with hanging threads - cut them off yourself if you don't like them!
