The Muse - Linda McCartney

In this series, we reflect on the role of a muse in the design of Lou Dungate knitwear. As a company, we embrace individuality, and champion the quiet inner confidence that allows the wearer to feel comfortable in simple and understated pieces. Knitting as a craft is communal and its roots are shared across the world. It is equally nostalgic and ever evolving. It is here that we pay tribute to the heritage of knitwear and the many people who wear it well.

“I am my own muse. I am the subject I know best. The subject I want to know better.”
― Frida Kahlo

Linda McCartney, an animal rights activist and photographer, was the beloved wife of Sir Paul McCartney. Her beautiful photos depict a love of nature, her family and the outdoors in a way that speaks volumes to us. We hope you find a moment to quietly appreciate the following delights captured by Linda on film.
