An investigation in the handicraft of knitting and crochet with diagonal construction. In this project a collection of clothing, based on the handicraft of knitting and crocheting has been developed. This work has a slow process of making, to take advantage of making items, carefully and with your hands. Today the fashion industry produces cheap low quality disposable clothing with industrial machines, fast fashion. This leads to lost value of the garments.  The opposite to fast fashion is slow fashion which aims for long-lasting, locally manufactured clothing, primarily made from sustainably sourced fair-trade fabrics.
