Why celebrities are flocking to Bird & Knoll scarves
The co-founder of this Australian fashion label is inspired by the slow and thoughtful design of Europe's artisan tradition.
Bird & Knoll’s collections of scarves, dresses, tunics and jumpsuits in silk, linen and cotton have attracted the likes of actors Emily Blunt and Elizabeth Banks.
When it comes to gathering design inspiration for her luxe-bohemian collections, Natalie Knoll, co-founder of Australian resort wear label Bird & Knoll, looks primarily to her European summer vacations.
“I love that there’s still such a healthy regard for the artisan in Europe,” says the South African-born Australian, who launched the label in 2014, alongside New Zealander Macayla Chapman, with a series of cashmere-blend scarves printed with photographs from Knoll’s travels to Morocco, Greece, Israel and beyond.
