The Art of Handmade Knitwear and Showstopping Statement Styles

Come Backstage at Joao Maraschin SS25

Stepping backstage at the show of Brazilian-born, London-based designer Joao Maraschin during Copenhagen Fashion Week SS25 felt like crossing into an atelier where knit artistry meets seamless precision. The moment I stepped in, I was enveloped by the pulse of orchestrated chaos, not just under runway lights but in those electric moments of meticulous preparation.

The Joao Maraschin SS25 collection was nothing short of a vibrant showcase - a feast of handmade statement knitwear and tactile, fuzzy textures. Eye-catching pieces lit up the room, from a striking poppy-red suit that commanded attention to a black-and-white splattered printed jacket exuding avant-garde charm. Each item was a testament to Maraschin’s devotion to craftsmanship, turning traditional knitwear on its head with a modern twist.
