alexander wang inpsired.
























photography: Phong Ho

knitted Alexander Wang inspired sweater, givenchy bag, Nu+Nan heels

This is something that my grandmother and I have been working on for a while.. well.. she's been working on for me.. I'm so in love with what she's done. We decided to do the sweater in white because we couldn't find the right grey wool and thought that white would look just as good and would separate it from the original.

We also decided to put two different colours in the pattern; a black and a gun metal to make it look interesting. It fits like a charm and I just adore it. Twisted my friends arm into helping me take some photos of it to share with everyone.

Let me know what you all think about it!
