Aqua is a practice-based knitwear researcher, fashion designer, and materials specialist whose work investigates the transformation of knitted textiles from conventional two-dimensional surfaces into dimensional, body-responsive structures.

Her research is grounded in material experimentation, knit construction, and the structural behavior of textiles. Through the reconfiguration of fundamental knitting techniques, including ribbing, cabling, linking, and Half Milano structures, she explores how traditional knit knowledge can generate new spatial, volumetric, and functional possibilities within contemporary knitwear design.

Aqua’s current practice focuses on the relationship between fiber, structure, body, and wearability. Her work examines how knitted materials can move beyond surface decoration to become soft structural systems, with potential applications in sculptural garments, commercial knitwear, wearable objects, and future material-led product development.

Her methodology was developed through an MA in Fashion at Central Saint Martins, where she specialized in knitwear under Fabio Piras and Nikolaos Efstathiou, following a BA in Textile Design under Anne Marr, Derek Lawlor, Theresa Rarer, and Alice Wellbeloved.

Positioned between craft-based textile knowledge, experimental fashion design, and material-led research, Aqua’s work aims to contribute to broader discussions around dimensional textile construction, sustainable material development, body-centered design, and the future adaptability of knitwear beyond conventional garment forms.
