“KNIT CRAFT TANK” Bringing Over Hundred of Trendy Knit-Sample
|
|
| “KNIT CRAFT TANK” (KCT) is a design platform supported by Knitwear Innovation and Design Society (KIDS). It aims at showcasing the talents of young designers and promoting the development of knitwear industry. With the support of several leading Asian yarn and knit manufacturers, the ideas of young designers turn into practical knit product samples. |
|
| Apart from creativity, the fashion world today also looks for functional, comfortable, ecological and commercially viable fabrics. It needs the collaboration of yarn designers, spinning technologists, fabric designers, knitting and finishing technologists to transform raw materials into yarns and subsequently into fabrics. It also involves machine and capital investment. “KNIT CRAFT TANK” collaborates the designers, knit manufacturers and technologists to produce knit product samples with market potential. |
|
| “KNIT CRAFT TANK” has over a hundred of works for buyers’ reference. These designs can be applied to fashion, installation and even architecture. People who are interested can reach the designers or technology possessors through “KNIT CRAFT TANK” to seek for business opportunities. |
|
| Debut Exhibition of “KNIT CRAFT TANK” was held in October 2012 in Hong Kong. The exhibition received great support from the knit industry and visitors were impressed by the knit samples. For instance, the exhibit by installation designer Karbi Chan was a blue tent using fiber yarn installation. It perfectly demonstrated the features of architectural fabrics and served as a background for knit samples of heavier weight. She hoped the design brought new inspiration for both fashion and architecture in terms of material, structure, form and aesthetics. |
|
| In order to promote its knit samples and related services, “KNIT CRAFT TANK” will participate in The 14th China (Dongguan) Int’l Textile & Clothing Industry Fair on April 10-13, 2013. |
