When I think of knitwear, I typically think of a cozy sweater, something that designer Craig Lawrence apparently does not think about when creating his knitwear designs. The Craig Lawrence 2010 collection—the knitwear designer’s third collection—is a mad mix of ruffled and fluffy yarns, knitted together to create unique and bizarre outfits.
Included in the Craig Lawrence 2010 collection (which is all handmade) is the red and white bodysuit shown here, a silver mini dress spilling over with red yarn, and a knitted piece (a dress?) that resembles a gigantic eye.
