Kelly Attenberger created a casual luxury womenswear collection inspired by her surroundings in the summer of 2016 spent in a rural part of Connecticut. This land previously owned by native American tribes 100 years ago, is now used to continue the teaching of traditional dances to keep skills alive for generations to come. Dances were performed in absence of traditional dress, creating the culture of Native Americans in the open wilderness by a lake and fire.
Textures have been informed by the movement in the dances as well as the campfire after dark. Knit together with oversized blanket garments evoke the feeling of native wilderness survival for the modern age.
Throughout this collection Kelly has managed to showcase an extensive knowledge of knitwear; creating interesting textures and eye catching colours bringing a sense of individuality to the collection.
