LISA SHAWGILisa Shawgi is a knitwear designer of Irish and Egyptian-Sudanese parentage. She spent most of her childhood in the Sudan before moving to Dublin as a young teenager and she often uses the juxtaposition of both of these cultural backgrounds as an inspiration. She graduated from the National College of Art and Design in 2005 and worked for designers such as Lainey Keogh and Vera Wang before beginning to devote all her efforts to her own work. The creative input of effectively knitting one’s own fabric before setting to work with it is a crucial part of Lisa Shawgi’s decision to specialise in the field of knitwear, and she takes full advantage of her craftsmanship in this area to form her own distinctive style. The collection on show is inspired by divine elegance.
Different contrasts in textured silk fabric combined with jewel colours gives an elegant and individual style to these hand finished pieces. Contact Lisa at: www.lisashawgi.com + 353 (0) 86 8567269 |
