KBN Knitwear is a London-based creative studio that develops and produces knitwear for brands and designers. It offers a wide range of bespoke services, spanning technical consulting, creative sampling and production.
Influenced by both French and Vietnamese cultures, Khanh Brice Nguyen explores identity through queerness, artistry and self-expression. The designer’s journey of self-discovery has deeply influenced the design philosophy, transforming clothing into a medium for storytelling. Blending fashion with elements of comics and dance, the collection embodies character and movement. With extensive experience in intricate knitwear, the approach seamlessly merges technical precision with emotional depth.
”Ghost Dancer is a personal reflection on stepping into the light, shedding layers of fear, and embracing one’s true self. Through movement, texture, and transparency, this collection embodies the fragile yet powerful act of revealing oneself. Diaphanous materials suggest the tension between exposure and protection, while structured silhouettes hint at the armor we build around ourselves. The collection evolves from ghostly veils and flowing forms into a process of shedding, revealing the body beneath.”
Each of the 18 looks is crafted entirely from knitwear in the designer’s London studio, highlighting a focus on craftsmanship and material innovation.
”Styling by Nathan Klein enhances and refines the collection’s narrative, while choreography by Benjamin Jonsson expands the vision, bringing the garments to life in a physical, emotive way. Together, they reclaim fashion as a language of presence, revealing identity through form and motion.”
