2. THE ROOTED COLLECTION
S S 16
The ROOTED collection by KAOS by Siljestrom,
launcing in the spring of 2016, is a deep personal
exploration of identity and belonging. Drawing
inspiration from elements of Scandinavian
culture, nature, history and mythology.
It communicates strength yet comfort, history
yet modernity, and intricacy through simplicity.

During my time at MASKA, I was
asked to design and make a special
garment to be included in the AW15
collection. Drawing inspiration from
the textures and colours of the
season, I designed a structured
jacket/cardigan in luxurious
silk/merino wool, with a bold
herringbone slip stitch texture, ripples
for structure, and a soft half cardigan
shawl collar.

THE BRIEF: WAFFLE / HERRINGBONE THE BRIEF: DIAGONAL
I designed and created these
samples, along with many
others, for the MASKA AW15
collection on a domestic
Brother Electroknit, using
hand transfered stitches for
texture swatches, and racking
for diagonal swatches.
These two designs were
chosen for two final garments
in the collection.

TOUCHED was my final year
project at university.
Dealing with the haptic data of
emotional responses to music, this
project set out to translate the
experienced abstract qualities of
music into its physical equivalent.
Graphs became foundations for
design, numbers became patterns
and survey responses became
colour palettes.
