She specialized in knit and was inspired by the artistic freedom she found in England. After completing her studies at Middlesex University, she stayed on to work in knitted textile design. She collaborated with British designers such as Tom Dixon, and created unique textiles like scarves, bags and garments for stores like Top Shop, Barneys, and Browns. Her work mixes textures, colors, and hand knit qualities, and draws on traditional knitting patterns and techniques. Inspiration comes from flea markets and De Chirico paintings, aiming to create a look that is sophisticated and quirky. Showcasing around the world, her pieces are carried in boutiques and department stores in London, Paris, New York, and Tokyo.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Central Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44093558128848,"sku":"MBEB11395H","price":25.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/9350\/9840\/files\/Beyond-Darning_HighRes_Covercopy.jpg?v=1776968102","url":"https:\/\/loopknitting.com\/en-euddp\/products\/beyond-darning-creative-mending-techniques-hikaru-noguchi-english-version","provider":"Loop Knitting","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
