A knitwear–‐focused unisex collection, intended to be sized from children’s to adults. It s inspired by the androgynous and quirky nature of London, juxtaposing vintage and futurism, and the nostalgia of growing up in 90’s America. I took bits and pieces of London inspiration and placed them into the fair–‐isle patterns in my knits, while my silhouettes and styling mimic the feeling I had growing into/out of clothes, hand–‐me–‐ downs, snowsuits, layering and mismatching.

The Long Season Is a fall/winter collection for boy’s sized 4–‐6x Inspired by the American South During the Great Depression. Functionality and frugality are key, but also a sense of craft. I wanted to create heirloom pieces that were made by my own two hands with a great deal of patience.
