From the very beginning, I wanted professional dancers with their total body awareness as models for my hand knitting book. Their elegance, pose and superb posture has attracted me from my childhood days. The last few years we have seen the inspiration and athleticism they bring to fashion. After searching in both London and Oslo I received positive response from both Francesca Golfetto and Cristiane Sá, from the National Ballet in Oslo, they gave my book an extra dimension.

Francesca took us by storm, with her waist long dark hair and long lashes, and stopped all activity around us at Aker Brygge (a quay by the Oslo Fjord), on a sunny Friday afternoon in early September, while Kim Müller, photographed her.  Take another look at the photo above and you’ll understand what I mean.
