A designer’s ‘ready-to-wear’ knitwear collection was chosen by a charity to feature at London Fashion Week.

The collection, created by Sheree Robinson, who hails from Sudbury Hill, was one of eight picked by the Prince’s Trust to feature at the show.

It was launched by Fashion Finest for Spring/Summer 2018 and Sheree explained how the untapped opportunities associated with knitwear are what makes it so appealing.

She said: “The cyclical cycle of design is very important to me, during my time designing for the high street I saw a lot of materials deemed as waste that I knew could be used to knit outfits for women who love to dress up and stand out. 

“For my collection, I wanted people to see the full potential of knitwear, to see that they don’t only have to be made from wool and into jumpers. 

“My designs are sparkly and bold, I am inspired by music, firework formations and nature – like sea anemones and animals that are colourful, quirky or unusual.”

The former Harrow College student has previously worked in New York, developing knitted fabrics for Diane Von Furstenberg and Wool and Gang.

She has also designed for high street brands in the UK such as Topshop, Miss Selfridge and Lipsy.

Her Spring/Summer 2018 collection consists of ready to wear pieces made up of body con dresses, crop tops, skirts and dresses in going out styles. 

All are accessorised with her trade mark handmade fringed necklaces designed using inspiration from the garments.
