Knitwear from Amanda Henderson is deeply rooted in nature, taking inspiration from organic textures and tones in order to celebrate the natural world through fashion. The pieces are all original, using natural fibres sourced by hand in New York state to create unique items, ranging from loose sweaters to a tightly woven strapless top. Henderson’s work then begins with the materials and is evolved through the process and tradition of knitwear. She aims to create pieces that are simple, timeless and durable, functional items of clothing that people can live in and that play a part in their lives. But as well as incorporating old traditional techniques from the world of knitwear, she introduces unexpected details that help to make each piece a one-off work of eco-textiles.
