Alannah Cusack for Aine Knitwear A/W 2012

This is my entry for the menswear knitted accessory competition for Aine Knitwear. The theme for the range was exploration of the Tundra region, I was inspired by the use of animals skins and furs used to keep warm in the cold climate. My design as well as 3 others was choosen to be made into a prototype. This week the winner shall be anounced, wish me luck!!!

Rick Owens A/W 2011

This collection makes me wish for snow and loads of money. I want the money, to buy the whole collection. The snow, so it is cold enough to wear the collection. I love the quilted capes and sleeves, the dark wintery colours and the contrasting paneling. So if any body is reading this can I please have some money and some snow : )

Assembled Line A/W 2011 2012

This is my first project since I started back in college. I choose the theme Mechanics and based the collection on industrial buildings. I thought it was a good source for inspiration, it provided good shape and line. Linear detailing like metal zips, piping, vertical seams and quilting were a big feature in this collection.

Mulberry Ad A/W 2011
