KTS knitting design competition – the winners!
The winner! Sanita Shrestha
Masako, Head of Clothing Design in Japan and I judged KTS’s knitting competition while I was in Japan this week. KTS in Nepal make the amazing hand knitted pieces for our collections and every year they hold a competition to showcase their skills.
Each knitter knits one square of their own design and they are sewn together into a huge garment (a hat, jumper or scarf) which we then judge to find the most innovative winner. It’s a great idea and often inspires our designers to use these new techniques in the People Tree collection. As always it was hard to pick a winner – such amazing hand knit skills! But here they are – which are your favourites?

My week in Mombasa, Kenya
Usually I have designers with me, but this time everyone’s super busy – so I decided to attend the WFTO conference alone! Mad! As I told you in my last blog I barely had time to sleep.
I love fashion and trying something new, so I decided to produce a People Tree Bombolulu Workshops Fashion Show – 30 minutes before we were still finalising the outfits – OMG.
Anyway, follow me around the WFTO Conference, the voting group photo. The market place full of wonderful, Fair Trade craft – watch me design dresses at Bombolulu, styling the fashion show and stressing out!
