We were thrilled with all the inventive and beautifully executed submissions from the Textile department and it was a very hard decision for Marion; but everyone felt that Luise was a worthy winner - her work is well thought through and intricately executed - and we look forward to meeting her at Marion's workshop in October (her prize) when she will hopefully be able to integrate some of her off-beat knitting skills with Marion's stylishly original knitting patterns.
Here is Luise's story so far:
"I am half French half German. I trained in Germany first (Berlin) and then at ESAA Duperré, Paris, initially as a textile designer and later as a fashion designer. I gradually became fascinated in the three-dimensional possibilities of knitting, and the fact that you can create texture and shape at the same time with the medium, and I applied for a place at the RCA. I am delighted to have won this award to work alongside Marion Foale, and the workshop will allow me to combine all my previous training, whilst ideally opening up new possibilities; her technical knowledge of the knitted fashion business and her celebrated sense of style should be hugely useful to any future direction I follow."
We can't wait to see what you produce, Luise, and look forward to welcoming you next month. Congratulations!
