Artist Name: Antoinette Indge

Cinderloop is a handmade clothing line for women featuring dresses, tops, tunics and scarves in quality knits.

I start each new design with knit fabric draped on a dress form. It’s an intuitive process that involves responding to the fabric, but also keeping in mind the needs of my customers and the lives they lead. Color, stitch details, and a great fit are three of the things I focus on when I design a new piece. Lately I’ve been dyeing fabric using low impact fiber reactive dyes. I love the nuanced colors I get from hand dyeing.

Bio

Growing up in London, England, when I wasn’t reading I was often making things, usually from yarn or fabric. Eventually I studied sculpture at art school, then moved to Brooklyn, NY in the 90s. Finding a stack of vintage knitting magazines on the street one day, I returned to my early love of textiles. I started selling knitted hats at the Young Designer Market in Nolita, and inspired by the designers around me, I eventually progressed to designing dresses and tops. I started Cinderloop in 2002. Although I’m self taught as a designer, the valuable feedback I get from my customers has always helped guide me.
