Katie Jones

Posted On January 31, 2016

Katie Jones loves to crochet, and boy does it show. Spending as much as eighty hours working on a single jacket, Jones pieces together upcycled leather and denim to produce labor intensive, highly crafted fantasies of color. Jones’s work is a melodious juxtaposition of color, texture, shape and style. Flirty, frilly, playful and frothy, covered with hearts, frills, and bows, her sense of style is simply joyful. The spring Summer 2016 collection is a riot of kitsch, Tex-Mex inspired color and texture that includes jeans plastered with multi-colored stars and hearts, knitted cardigans with candy-cultured ribbon fringing, a simple summer dress made from reclaimed denim, paneled and pieced together with classic bright crochet, the Katie Jones trademark. The collection is the epitome of British eccentricity, eclectic, innovative and entirely nutty.
