LVMH Prize finalist develops own leathers
One of the eight brands chosen for this year’s LVMH Prize for Young Fashion Designers (LVMH Prize) final has revealed how developing its own leathers, prints and textures is central to its creative process.
In a video clip posted to social media, the designers behind London-based luxury womenswear label Knwls, Charlotte Knowles (from the UK) and partner Alexandre Arsenault (Canada), discussed how their spring-summer 2022 collection included bespoke leather development, involving “unique” leathers specially distressed in various colours.
