Days of Yore is an armoury of knitwear, a shielding of vulnerabilty;
it shape-shifts and moves with the body.
Armour goes from being bodiless and alien to protection without restriction.
There’s strength in truth,
there’s strength in tenderness.
I can keep you safe

Knitwear collection created 2023-2024 as my thesis project with an accompanying
lookbook.
Knitwear created on silvereed double bed machine. Chainmail created using a lasercutter. Book printed and bound in Providence, Rhode Island by yours truly (even made my own book cloth).
Days of Yore was created as a wardrobe for heroines; as an ode to tenderness as strength. I’ve always been sensitive, it took me a long time to realize what a blessing that has been.
