INUIKII X NIM: Straight Outta London
The Swiss shoe brand joined forces with knitwear designer Niamh E. Foster.
The sassy knitwear artist Niamh Emily Foster and INUIKII teamed up to design a very exclusive limited collection for spring/summer 2023. Following the statement HERE I AM, INUIKII chose to support the young artist Niamh in order for the world to see her bold, handcrafted pieces. The common love for the unexpected and edgy designs that stand out has made this collab a perfect match.
Niamh Emily Foster discovered knitting with her granny Freida when she was about 10 years old. Knitting being a very sensual art, is deeply connected to womanhood – whenever she speaks to people about knitting and where they learnt it, it is often from their grandma. Niamh herself also likes the sensual aspect of it, how it feels, especially within her style of using different textures for different patches of the knit.
She loves how it can be as experimental as you like and is proud when comparing final knits to the original format of the ball of wool. In 2020, she created her brand @niamhemilyfoster. It started as a lockdown hobby and transpired into something much bigger than she ever imagined. It was making the best out of a bad situation
