Arielle de Pinto Knits Up a Storm

Published 20 months ago

Taking her crochet to bigger pieces, this Canadian designer proves that entanglement can only be a good thing.

When asked whether Arielle de Pinto tires of her signature metal crochet techniques, she resolutely refutes this possibility. Looking at her S/S 10 collection you can see why as the delicate metal strands have become even more tangled up. Through experimentation she's using more precious metals and making sure that she leaves a unique mark on a technique that is increasingly being duplicated elsewhere.

To expand her growing collections, she has also started teaching her techniques to other people to quicken production. For spring summer, she collaborated with photographer and filmmaker Margaret V Haines and shot the lookbook images and these short videos together that capture the different characters that can wear de Pinto's jewellery.
