Lauren Manoogian’s Ravel Knits unravel luxury in deconstructed form
Soft, deliberately undone surfaces define a new collection of knitwear that celebrates the beauty of unravelling. Lauren Manoogian's Ravel collection treats deconstruction as an art form, where fraying edges and loosened threads become the vocabulary of refined minimalism.

Cream coloured wool emerges from the hands of Lauren Manoogian transformed into something quietly radical: knitwear that looks deliberately incomplete, where unravelled edges and loose threads are not flaws but the essential logic of the design. The Ravel collection treats deconstruction as texture, as colour, as shadow cast across the surface of a garment.
Each piece unfolds with a particular softness, the kind that comes from materials understood intimately and manipulated with restraint. The edges fray gently, threads trailing loose against the body, creating movement where structure might be expected. A long skirt grazes the floor with panels that curl at their borders; a sweater wears its undone seams like a whisper of something between finished and abandoned, caught in that liminal moment where craft becomes poetry.
Manoogian’s approach to the unfinished speaks to a rigorous sensibility: nothing feels careless, nothing crude. Instead, each loose thread serves a purpose, each soft edge deliberately orchestrated. The palette remains austere, allowing the eye to rest entirely on surface and form, on how light catches the soft irregularities of wool left to its own conclusion. What emerges is a collection that asks: what if imperfection, when considered carefully enough, becomes the most refined gesture of all.
