A bizarre creation is the result of a collaboration between David Poole (photographer, illustrator and editor of online fashion, art and music magazine Slashstroke) and Electronic Sheep, the London and Dublin based a knit company known for their zany and colourful, capes, caps and sweaters.

“Combining all our passions for paper, print and pattern we designed a mini-range of coordinates and masks and then invited Parisians to model them,” Poole says.

Founded by friends Brenda Aherne, a knit expert and graphic designer Helen Delaney, Electronic Sheep was set up in 1999 and has gone from strength to strength.

In Ireland the woollies are stocked by Bow in Powerscourt.
