Nottingham Trent University Knitwear Show 2012

25th May 2012 | Colour, Design, Fun, Style | Leave a comment

So last night, Pip and I went to Nottingham Trent University to see the Fashion Knitwear Design and Knitted Textiles show. Coming from Nottingham Trent University, it was fantastic to go back and experience the show on behalf of John Smedley, the oldest manufacturing factory in the world. After a boiling day, Pip and I enjoyed a lovely glass of vino and set ourselves down to a great show.

Here are a few of our favourites from the night…

P.s Apologies for the poor quality of the photographs below – Pip and I both forgot our cameras so had to rely on our trusty i-phones!
