Tangled Wood
Saturday, 15 November 2014
My new collection and website are now live and you can take a look at isabelknowles.com. Also, see the whole lookbook for Tangled Wood here. Last weekend when I was in London we did this last minute shoot with a couple of ginger babes I'm lucky to have at my disposal (my sister and friend). It was still a tad dingy so lots of looking up trying to catch the light.
The name Tangled Wood was actually the last thing to be finalised about this collection. I knew the shapes and colours were based around and trees and leaves but my mind drew a blank. After going to see the William Morris exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery (which was wicked) I stumbled across the following poem and it seemed to fit just right...
Lo, when we wade the tangled wood,
In haste and hurry to be there,Nought seem its leaves and blossoms good,
For all that they be fashioned fair.
But looking up, at last we see
The glimmer of the open light,
From o’er the place where we would be:
Then grow the very brambles bright.
So now, amidst our day of strife,
With many a matter glad we play,
When once we see the light of life
Gleam through the tangle of to-day.
I hope you like this little collection. There's a wider range of organic cotton fabrics in it which I really enjoyed working with.

These are the last photos from my lookbook shoot. I hope you have enjoyed them. There are a few pieces I did not include and a few I am discontinuing from the collection. Your feedback always means a great deal indeed.
This shoot draws from my initial inspirations when creating the collection, but is also inspired by other sources from the same period - including some of my favourite novels 'I Capture the Castle' and 'Cold Comfort Farm'. The innocence and naivety of country life as it aspires to the City's high society and Hollywood. Debutantes and dairy maids.

(I've decided to release the images from yesterday's shoot in sections.
This way I get to pick more of the pictures I like without creating one
mile long post)
AW 2012 Look Book Shoot
Monday, 22 October 2012
I just realised that I had totally forgotten to post the photos of my AW shoot a few weeks ago.
My friend Beci took the photos, she's such a great photographer & she's great at doing all the editing & all that jazz afterwards.
Here are some of my favourate shots (so hard to choose as I loved them all)...
All these items are available in my Etsy shop.
But for those who don't use Etsy - I have now got a real proper website. YAY! Still a slight work in progress, but a definite start. Check it out at www.isabelknowles.com
You can see all the photos on my Facebook page too - here.
Final Winter Photos
Friday, 2 December 2011
These are a few of my favorites from my photo shoot on Wednesday with Beci. She has edited them perfectly as I wanted them to look retro to match the style & shapes of my dress.
Soon I will do a proper website. & also I am going to order new fabrics from Monaluna which I am very excited about.
This weekend I am doing a small market in my village to promote my dresses & sell some Christmassy bits & bobs. I have a lot to do...
