Knitwear designer Michel Bergamo and architect/photographer Cristina Zamagni collaborated to create Boboutic in 2000. The concept is about taking everyday experience to create innovative pieces in which traditional knit-and-stitch techniques are combined with a constant research for new materials and production methods. The yarn, considered as an endless line, is ideally kept intact by rejecting the use of scissors in the making of the garments, finding new ways for the knitwear to tell its own story. Boboutic consider knits an ideal medium, since its versatility allows conceiving unique surfaces and unexpected shapes. The approach to knitwear is unpredictable, aiming at creating a product where materials and structures compensate each other.
