Soft Armor

Two models lie on their sides on grass, under a large sheer veil laid out in a circle. The veil’s edge is adorned with stuffed with cloud-like knitted forms. One model wears a cardigan made of multiple knitted panels with a knit bodysuit. The other model wears a simple strapless white knitted mohair dress. The models reach toward each other inside this soft, enclosed space.

A model lies on the grass wearing a strapless white mohair minidress with a voluminous ruffle skirt. Her head rests on a large knitted pillow-shaped headpiece, also white mohair. The vibe is dreamy, soft, and whimsical.

A model is lying on her back on a vast green lawn, wearing a white strapless knitted minidress. Her head rests on a knitted pillow of the same color and material.

Dress top is 7-gauge knit. Skirt and headpiece are 5-gauge, with heavier mohair yarn.

Soft Armor is a collection inspired by the modern struggle of sleep deprivation. Using soft mohair and cozy textures, the design mimics pillows and blankets, symbolizing the need for rest and comfort. The muted colors and gentle textures convey a longing for peaceful refuge in a restless world.
