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.
