“My jumper was inspired by the beautiful stairways in Somerset House in London,” says Emma Vining. “On a recent visit, I noticed the shadows created by the lighting on the steps - the banister railings could be seen as shadows on the stairs themselves. The combination of lace and cables creates soft lines of steps that move across the garment and meet in the centre.”
