Introducing Helen Rödel’s Crochet Dresses and Resort 2017 Collection

I just came across Helen Rödel’s documentary video from 2011 on Vimeo and easily fell in love with her artistic crochet designs. Helen Rödel creates all-handmade crochet dresses and other pieces such as bikinis, tops and cardigans.

I keep my clothing entirely handmade to bring artisanal techniques from the past into the future – Helen Rödel

For Resort 2017, Helen Rödel has used beautiful and bright color combinations in her first collection of crocheted swimwear and beach staples.

Helen Rödel’s Tarlisa Fringe Cardigan is rendered in popcorn stitch and features a longline hem, round neck, and ruffled green contrast along the closure.

Helen Rödel’s Leaf Crochet Mini Dress features an intricately hand crocheted high-relief pattern that decorates a flattering, body skimming silhouette.

Helen Rödel’s documentary video unveils the development of her first collection; ESTUDOS MMXI (Watch the video). When the camera approaches the manual techniques used as platforms by designer Helen Rödel, that moments are mesmerising to watch. The designer shares her thoughts about the paradox of time between weaving and thinking beautifully that reveal her creative process and the context of her conception.

Helen Rödel’s Bridge Bikini Bottom features a double strap, cheeky design.

Helen Rödel’s Iceland Two Tone Swimsuit is rendered in detailed, hand stitched crochet, and features a scoop neckline and elongating high cut leg opening.
