Le Moine Tricote
Le Moine Tricote, which means “the monks knits”, is an exquisite collection of women’s hand knits at the very highest level of intellectual and creative exploration and expression. The entirely hand produced knits, fluidly undulate through different yarns, textures, a dazzling array of lacy stitches, directions and tensions, to produce quite simply art, in the form of women’s knitwear. The easy, rebellious knitwear, never the less has a level of sophistication that raises the craft of knitting to the level or artistic expression, with craft merely as the medium of expression. With a personal intent to communicate cultural heritage, Alice Lemoine’s background of strong French elegance, is tempered with the minimalism of contemporary art and architecture. Her instinctive approach to design combines her twin inspirations, struggling to find a mature balance between the two worlds that incorporates the ancestral and instinctual, while expressing dynamism and eclecticism.
