Friday Knitting Inspiration. Motohiro Tanji.

Today's knitting inspiration is Japanese textile designer Motohiro Tanji. Before starting his own knitwear label, the designer studied at Bunka Fashion College in Japan and got his MA at Nottingham Trent University. Motohiro was also interested in 3D commuter graphics and programming which later found reflection in his knitwear pieces.Knitting InspirationHis conceptual knitwear collections with rich textures and 3D shapes are strongly influenced by digital art. All the knitwear pieces are handmade and feature the combination of conventional fibers and silhouettes with unique materials and techniques.Knitting Inspiration

The Fall 2015 collection was inspired by ancient architectural ruins of Greece and Rome with an avant-garde spin.

Knitting InspirationThis is a very innovative and fresh look at knitwear design and I cannot help but admire all the possibilities the knit fabric has to offer!

You can find Motohiro Tanji and his unique pieces on his official website www.motohirotanji.com.

Have a great weekend!
