cooperativedesigns - unique knitwear from London makes my day
19. June 2008 Designers & Labels, Knitwear
The weather is foul, it´s cold and grey and my wait for summer seems to become an endless tragedy. At least, Annalisa Dunn and Dorothee Hagemann, two young designers that are the heads behind cooperativedesigns, make my day. With only three collections, cooperativedesigns has conquered the fashion market by storm and caught lots of honors and reputations. The terrific feedback seems to quicken the Ex St. Martin´s students. In my opinion, the AW 08/09 collection is their strongest, most creative and most outstanding creative output so far. So, the outlook on winter becomes really tolerable…but still, dear nature, please don´t forget to interpose an hot and sunny summer.
