Balenciaga Redesign

[original design] Balenciaga knitwear

It's the time to awake the summer spirit, 
I think it's also the exact time for my Balenciaga knitwear to a whole new look!
Here I am to redesign it.

I styling the original Balenciaga knitwear,
it's a long sleeves sweater with a ruffles-tie knot around the neck.

It's very basic in design,
I thought this is very simple,
and I would wear it out with a younger and edgy design!

So let's see how I turned this knitted top to a
chic cropped top~

I remove the ruffles-tie around the neck first. 

[steps]: removing the ruffles-tie around the neck

[steps]: ruffles-tie is removed

Then,
I start to cut out the sleeves, and also the hem,
and stretch the fabric to create loosen pattern on it.

[steps]: marking the sleeves' part which I wish to cut out

[steps]: stretching the fabric for a loosen effect

[steps]: cutting out the hem with a curve line which I designed

[steps]: cutting at hem is done

I wish to add a sense of young and stylish, with 'more' of my fashion style,
instead of the original design which is very feminine and formal.
