Abstract
This project takes reference from the Faber and Faber book illustration archive towards a contemporary collection of hand printed cashmere garments in the round. Ten book titles were selected from the Faber archive who permitted extensive research and use of book cover art as the basis for this collection. World renowned cashmere producers Johnstons supplied prototype cashmere jumpers to test and trial print process and the work was later put into production producing a limited edition collection of 100 units for sale on an International level. The work was exhibited at London’s ICA and has had extensive recognition through International press as well as online content.
