HELP: need information about knitwear designers

[sistersuzie]

Basically, i'm trying to gather as much information as possible about knitwear designers, that have at least a few pieces in their collections that are handmade. They can either make accessories and/ or pieces of clothes. Any kind of information (prices, location, bio, website, inter infos, marketing, etc) would be good. Even if it's only a name, that would help me a lot!

thanks

looks like it could have been handmade.

i recognize the knitting pattern that they used for most of the piece

i could make something similar, but the hardest part would be to get the same look with the swirls, but all of that is possible!

rodarte has a lot of handknit unique pieces!

like this:

but the pricing is like at least 2000...

Maglificio Miles (Sandra Backlund's factory) does the knitwear for Alaia, Sonia Rykiel, Balenciaga, Valentino and a few others, though I especially recommend you check out Alaia knits.

Mark Fast , does some pretty awesome shit, as well as Giambattista Valli.
