"After a degree in textiles at Brighton, Macdonald won a place on the MA course at the Royal College of Art, where his flair for creating the wispiest of cobweb knits was spotted by Karl Lagerfeld.

“At the time, I was only 20. I lived in a one-bedroom flat in Finsbury Park and I knitted the most expensive Chanel couture dresses by hand, sat on my single bed. Those dresses were bought by the most incredible women in the world.

Karl saw my talent from a young age. He taught me about dressing, about sophistication, about the elegance and the beauty in a woman. Nobody understands a woman like Karl.” "
from the age.
