Think your sweater is exciting? Fashion design students from the Pratt Institute worked with designer Ralph Pucci on an innovative knitwear project at Gallery Nine in New York City. Ralph Pucci has created a specialized mannequin collection. The design students were tasked with making organic, wearable art using neutral colored yarns to complement the body form muse.
The exhibit was a competition among the 30 looks in the exhibit and will be judged by some of the design world's elite like textile designer Dana Barnes, architect Patrick Naggar and photographer Diego Uchitel.
I like this exhibit for how it blends multiple forms of product design together and treats the clothing as sculpture. The unprocessed colors of the yarns used and the sprawling, organic looks of the knits achieve a vibe of clothing that seems alive on the mannequin.
Designers pictured above include Kiet Tran, Kimi Lee, Meghan O'Sullivan, Chantal Galipeau, Katherine Daskas and Kat Holland.
The exhibit runs until Tuesday, January 28 at Gallery Nine, 44 West 18th Street, New York, NY.
