Great knitwear designer from NY. There's a mention of him in indie designer's thread but I thought it'd be perfect to have a special thread on his work.

According to the website you can only get his stuff from the U.S. and Japan, it's a shame. He has some lovely pieces.

some gorgeous knitwear...thanks scott

 

[Scott]

^yeah it's really lovely...I want one of those sculpted flouncy scarves....and that cool red neck-piece...yummy!

I'll admit,it is a bit close in the same vein as Preen but it's really good especially since his craft is mostly knitwear.

I really like Tom Scott. Thanks for starting this thread, Scott!
The pieces look great on, very striking but not too loud.

^you're welcome I thought of your post from the rocket site then noticed his web site on Hint...really brilliant pieces when I looked at everything.

Beautiful stuff scott! thanks for posting, I absolutely adore the structure in this type of knitwear, very inspiring.

scott, it's nice stuff. makes me wish i had majored in textiles!

That's my current thought, which area to specialise in...textiles or fashion, and it's stuff like this knitwear that veers me toward the textile area...

 

[Scott]

^it's certainly an area not touched upon very often in fashion. One has the ability to learn different stitch patterns....it's a very complex craft and far beyond granny's scarf. Although,I do like that approach too And the textures... oh how I adore texture

don't necessarily take my advice, but i found that the textile students were doing much more interesting stuff. if you are interested in knitwear in fashion, then i'd suggest textiles.
