Samples of knitted fabric
Oshima’s collection of knitted fabrics grows every year. She is fascinated by the way that new discoveries can emerge from reviewing fabric that wasn’t used at first because it didn’t reflect her ideas at the time. There’s no “right” knit. Even if the material hasn’t been knitted properly, it can be interesting from a design perspective. At other times, she may seek out a well-knitted fabric that’s like neatly-woven cloth. When you work directly from materials, the possibilities are infinite. What isn’t possible today may become possible later as a result of a new idea, or as the result of technological advances. Oshima senses the infinite possibilities of knitting.
