Janne Landuyt

My name is Janne Landuyt and my name is also my label. I knit my own collections of knitwear on my hand knitting machines. My studio is located in Beringen, Limburg. Every knitwear is designed and made in my studio.

In 2015, I started making knitwear for friends and acquaintances. At the time, I was an independent textile design student in Ghent. I started my business in June 2020. The collection was released a few months later. This collection is called F12. The name and the collection are inspired by the studio where I moved in June 2020.

I took the details of the architecture and turned them into knits. You can see them in the geometric shapes or in the structures of the knits. It’s an ode to the building.

I am inspired by everything I see around me, from architecture, to worn clothing and colors. Each knit is an extension of my own personality. This is my vision of fashion. I don’t like to follow trends, I like to follow my own personality. Making images with geometric shapes that take on volume when worn. I want to make knits that are durable and that you can cherish for a long time.

Name of the collection: Square circle triangle:

The idea of making combinations with the three simple shapes (the square, the circle and the triangle) was born shortly after reading the author’s book of the same name.
