Thanks for taking the time to chat with us today, Angela! Tell us about yourself and the vision behind MORPH knitwear?
Introductions are hard! On any given day I’m a different version of myself, so I suppose it’s hard for me to summon a sentence or two, that accurately portrays how and who I am. I suppose that I’m a rather hermetic human with a work ethic that makes me forget about real life, and a total love of cats, heavy metal, and feel-good detective shows. Morph Knitwear is my life, really. It’s become the thing that I think about most, the place where most of my energy is spent, and the thing I care about most besides the people (and cats) that I love. My vision is to create beautiful, evocative pieces of utilitarian clothing- a convergence of utility and beauty is my main aim.
What are your preferred textures and silhouettes to incorporate into your designs?
The textures and silhouettes I love are ones that create a dialogue between destruction and elegance, toughness and mystery. I aim to create pieces that will come to life in a different way on each body that wears them, so the way a particular garment or fiber drapes is very important to me.
What mood do you wish to evoke with your brand when viewed or worn for the first time?
What creative and technical process is involved when envisioning your designs? Take us through a day in the studio and your methods of construction.
What are the most prominent mediums that inspire your work?
The work of other independent designers is probably my most prominent inspiration. The fact that these women that I admire so much are making their way in the world successfully by the their strong will, talent, and dedication is such an inspiration for me to keep doing what I do, even when I’m feeling my most discouraged.
