Lo Louise Tam's design process for BlackSwan involved extensive research into different fabric textures and their combinations. Pattern blocks were created for each style, ensuring a perfect fit. The creation of the hand-knitted and crochet sweaters required experimentation with various yarns and patterns to achieve the desired aesthetic.
Despite the creative and technical challenges faced, Tam successfully achieved the right tone and harmony among the different textures of black fabrics. The seamless integration of hand-knitted and crochet elements with special knitted patterns adds an extra layer of complexity to the collection.
