Featured PFW 2011 Designer: Anna Cohen
PFW 2011 IMPERIAL KNITS COLLECTION
Imperial Yarn, a division of Oregon’s historic Imperial Stock Ranch celebrates 140 years in continuous operation this year launching its first in-house hand knitwear collection of patterns, The Imperial Knits Collection. The collection was designed by internationally recognized sustainable designer and creative director Anna Cohen, and guest designers Chrissy Gardiner and Edie Eckman.
It is very rare for a hand knit collection of patterns to be featured on a ready-to-wear runway. The partnership between Imperial Yarn and Anna Cohen has been developing into a leading story of bridging urban and rural, fashion and craft, and bringing audiences and discerning consumers along on a journey back to the source, and the very roots of fashion. This presentation is made possible through the partnership of Imperial Stock Ranch and Iberdrola Renewables, working together toward a cleaner energy future and building local community.
Imperial Yarn and patterns can be found locally at Twisted where we invite you to join us for a trunk show of our collection, Friday October 7th from 4:00pm-6:00pm.
(Twisted 2310 NE Broadway, Portland OR 97232 503-933-1150)
*Please note that all woven and cut & sew knit styles shown are not part of the hand knit collection and have been sourced from previous Anna Cohen collections. 
Anna Cohen will be showing at Portland Fashion Week in collaboration with Imperial Ranch and Earthtec on Thursday, October 6th, alongside other leading sustainable designers from around the world.
