Jantine van Peski's twelve-piece "Wires 10.0" collection focuses on craftsmanship and silhouette with attention to the materials and techniques used to create a piece. The Dutch designer graduated in 2011 from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts Antwerp with a master of arts degree after studying at the Amsterdam Fashion Institute.Textile sculptures from the seventies — and specifically the macramé technique — are where she draws influence from. The starting point to construct intricate pieces of clothing out of cord and yarn is straight from the body, using only one type of knot.
Van Peski's collection consists of extravagant garments that, in most cases, are only constructed from knotting. The designer's main focus is to balance handcrafted pieces with the minimalist design of the garment. The knotted pieces consist of 100 percent yarn or blended merino wool. Some pieces are made completely out of woolen yarn, fine leather, heavy wools, and thin silks.
