Martina Spetlova LN-CC



MARTINA SPETLOVA WOMEN'S LAMBSWOOL AND MERINO WOOL JUMPER DRESS - LN-CC

S/S 12 collection in acid yellow and ginger. The yarns are loosely constructed to give an almost frayed finish, and are interwoven with lurex and lycra to give the desired structure and flexibility. 

London-based fashion designer Martina Spetlova studied fashion at Central St-Martins college, and also holds an MA in chemistry. Her innovative designs are rendered in materials that are luxurious, innovative and ethical, as exemplified by her work with sustainable fish leather from the Icelandic company Atlantic Leather.
I used a similar idea to inspire my dishcloth top but rather than being luxurious it is ethical and sustainable.
