Fashion inspiration from Jemma Sykes

Claire Sullivan - Thursday, May 14, 2009

In what seems to be a growing trend, a number of incredibly talented fashion designers are employing the techniques of the centuries old craft of knitting to create their amazing garments. Jemma Sykes is one such designer. The above dress "The Elizabeth" was entirely knitted by hand, and the outcome is quite simply exquisite. The dress, designed as a bridal gown, was recently auctioned to benefit breast cancer in the UK, which makes it's dusty pink hue even more significant and appealing.
