spider silk knit

there is a chinese superstition that killing a spider brings bad luck, and seeing one brings good fortune. so we stopped killing them. the spiders settled into the corners of the studio and the webs multiplied, spinning elaborate patterns we could not stop looking at.

spider silk knit is what came back from the knit studio: a gossamer fine knit, meticulously hand distressed so every piece carries the intricate, irregular pattern of a web. it settles weightlessly against the body, a second skin.

reflective knit

the reflection came from the webs at night. in the dark, when light hit them, the webs looked reflective, glinting out of nowhere. we wanted the fabric to do exactly that, so we knitted a reflective thread through it.

the fabric reads completely different depending on how it is lit. in daylight it is quiet, a fine matte knit. in the dark, under flash or a beam of light, it ignites, every strand illuminating like a web at night. the transition from no flash to flash is the whole point.

before the knits, unnamed began with patented retroreflective jewelry, chains and facets built with 3m reflective technology and plated in 14k white gold, still worn as the alinēa necklace, bracelet, and amelia heels. that story is in wwd.
