For fashion designer, Pernille Birk Zachariassen, the knot in clothing context signals unpredictability, functionality, rich detail and play – a potential she recognises could be incorporated in commercial garments.
In her graduation project she interprets the knot as follows: “My starting point for the graduation collection was to interpret the knot and incorporate it as a design technique. The knot in itself is fixed lines that create new lines that meet and form a centre where the lines meet,” she says. Five selected suitable types of clothing – a blazer, a pair of jeans, a skirt, a shirt and a top - serve as a basis for the collection building.
