If you think you know crochet, think again.
Artist Masandra Mustapha is totally revolutionizing how we approach handmade clothing. She runs an Instagram where she shows off her crocheted fashion pieces, and you just have to see them to believe them.
Crochet Designer Makes Outfits Worthy Of The Red Carpet
Meet @Mihankushea, aka Masandra Mustapha.
Or San, as she goes by online! She's an incredible, self-taught crochet fashion designer from the Netherlands. She's a massive hit on Instagram, where over 100,000 people follow her fashion journey!
Seriously, I can't overstate how talented she is.
She makes a lot of separate sets in trending colors and styles, keeping up with current fashion while using crochet to make her designs really pop!
Look at this whole outfit!
I mean, hello? This is art right here! The drape, the color, the fit — everything about this is a masterpiece. She is so talented, and her pieces look so perfectly made!
By the way, crochet is entirely done by hand.
According to people who know way more about crochet than I do, there's no way to mass-make crochet pieces. That means San makes every single piece by hand, as evidenced by her "Process" highlight on her Instagram!
Her pieces are so well-structured.
The drape on those sleeves is to die for! San posts pictures of herself modelling her clothes, but sometimes she also shows what they look like on dress forms!
She has a ton of happy clients.
People around the world have commissioned San to make them their own two-piece crochet sets. In fact, she has to close her commission slots frequently, just to keep up with the demand!
No one is doing it like San.
From rich, earthy colors to bold, bright neons, San isn't afraid to play with different patterns and shades. She's great at keeping up with color trends, too, as you can see.
She even makes oversized sweater dresses.
Which is my new obsession. I totally want to be comfy cozy in a giant, crochet sweater! This would be so nice and warm! Ugh, I'm obsessed.
If you want one of her pieces, you'll have to wait.
She'll begin taking orders again in February 2021, so why not take a scroll through her Instagram and get an idea of what you want to order? Go on, I know you won't regret it.
