Uli Weber and Derek Lawler Pair Up for Dazed and Confused

Uli Weber worked with emerging talent Derek Lawlor for a feature in Dazed & Confused. A graduate of Central Saint Martins, Lawlor recently showed his A/W 2010 collection during London Fashion Week. Lawlor is known for using unusual materials to create distinctive looks. Vogue writes, “Inspired by Japanese samurai body armour and traditional Irish weaving practises, Derek has developed a unique knitting technique. Using a plastic wax cord as thread, Derek weaves it through his lace patterns to form fantastic organic shapes on tight-fitting cashmere.”

With his unique take on textiles, Derek Lawlor is catching the eye of many in the fashion world. His A/W 2010 collection combines his signature cord work with moody shades of blue and grey. See more looks captured by Uli Weber below.
