omg,i never knew we had a thread on her! i was just thinking of starting one on her the other day but i could not find anymore images of her works. but i too saw her on diane's blog. wow i cannot believe what i am looking at.....so extraordinary....nothing like i've seen before....and in knitwear! stunning. and i agree tricot,so distinct and is exactly an attribute that makes a great,quality designer.

She won the Grand Jury Prize at Hyères.

deservedly so. her work's instantly recognizable. i'm really wondering if they're lightweight. nevertheless, it looks gorgeous.

I am always stunned to see how she always pushes the boundaries of what's possible in her craft... it never bores to see what she can do with knits, simply because noone did what she did before. This must be like when Paco Rabanne entered the scene, only with the fact that I find her creations to be a lot more sophisticated than shift dresses made of mirrors and metal pins.

I am looking forward to see what she is up to, now that she won Hyères! Bravo Sandra!!

^again I think it's absolutely amazing. the way she takes knits into more dramatic proportions. but it's always cohesive. it kind of stops you in your path--but it isn't forceful,instead it captiavates and bewitches you!

i sent lovely sandra a congratulatory message through her iqons profile and responded with a lovely a thank you.

it looks like Charles Varenne's editorial in Numéro july 2007...
or maybe that's him who gets inspired...
