Knitting Factory

A new exhibition by Diva Zappa is coming up at LA's EM & Co. She is promising large-scale wallpieces that incorporate knitting with photography of knitting. Sounds delightfully "meta" and I like the idea of transposing the real texture with a representation of it.

She told me that she knitted the dress that Chloe Trujillo (wife of Metallica's Robert Trujillo) wore to the Grammys!

Email her at handmadebeauty AT zappa DOT com if you're interested in a commission!

Zappa Knits Zappa

On Friday, I went to the Candela/Decker Gallery to see work by the talented Diva Zappa. Her knitted works are colorful and remarkable. She donates a portion of the proceeds to the Watato Fund and Creative Visions, funding orphan care in Kenya. It's all a part of fashion week. Take a peak at some of her creations below.
