AMANDA ROSS HO
We love a bit of fringing here at WATG - our favorite artist who we always turn to for inspiration is Amanda Ross Ho. In particular the White Goddess series, translated from images of doilies and macrame wall hangings, the delicate structures inspired the fringing featured on our Touchdown Scarf.

HOW WE WOOL - AMBER
“How we wool” is an inspirational exploration of how to wear knitted pieces along with an everyday outfit. We have asked friends and members of the gang in New York to show us how they turn our collection pieces into their own, how they style up the wool in their own wardrobe.
