Faible and Failure x Munich Fabric Start | In Conversation with Muchaneta ten Napel

Faible for craft. Failure as a feature. Isabelle Mann is the founder and creative director of Faible and Failure, a Hamburg-based knitwear label established in 2018. She starts every collection from the material — not the other way around — and treats failure as part of the design process. At Munich Fabric Start, she talked about what it really means to be self-employed in fashion, why knowing your materials is the most underrated skill in the industry, and how a knitting mistake led to one of her favourite pieces.
