Langoliers, knitted jewelry
Langoliers is a brand hiding two creative minds, Pamela Liou and Zon Chu, which I happened to know about while randomly looking for knitted pieces. The fact is that, yes, we are talking about knits, but actually knitted jewelry, which is actually a pretty cool concept if you think that metal chain doesn’t have the same elasticity of yarn of course, so each piece is handworked in an extremely accurate and delicate way, ending in an unexplicably beautiful complicated net that adapts perfectly on the shapes of the wearer. Something between a necklace and a scarf, a jewel and a garment.
The presentation of their last collection, called Ritual Romance, took place at at Good Units at the Hudson Hotel in New York. For the occasion, all the pieces of the collections were put on display, some of them hanging and some worn by models, but the really stunning piece was the huge knitted chandelier (chiffon + metal chain) that caught all the attention, and was entirely handmade during five days (then it was sold for charity and all the money went to Japan earthquake victims). A really clever idea to convey the image of the brand in a different way and, who knows, the beginning of new experiments in knitted furniture?
