This multi-media dress references knitting as a contemporary textile art and shows how designers Flora Gill and Alexa Adams explore “technology and technique to create personalized fabrics.” Knitting expert Samantha Elliott writes, “As a craft traditionally performed by women, knitting is often adopted and subverted to redefine the feminine, frequently expressing strength and defiance.”
