Hikaru Noguchi

With influences from traditional knit patterns and techniques, such as fair- isle, Aran, embroidery and stripe, Hikaru Noguchi's work has developed to mix texture, colour and hand knit qualities. Sources of inspiration are diverse, from flea markets all over the world to paintings of De Chirico. She seeks a look that is both sophisticated and quirky, achieved through unusual juxtapositions of colour and texture. Throughout, her fundamental theme is one of joie de vivre.
