Knitwear Designer Bernie Yates Invites ELLE Into Her Rainbow-Hued Clerkenwell Flat | ELLE UK

Despite being Yorkshire-born and Cheshire-raised, the knitwear designer and ELLE UK contributing editor Bernie Yates admits she wasn’t made for the countryside. ‘You looked out of the windows and saw nothing but fields. I couldn’t wait to get away,’she says of her childhood. ‘I was arty, a little bit weird. I used to make little dens and doll houses.’ It was this creative flair that later saw her study fashion and knitwear at Nottingham TrentUniversity, and then launch the world-famous Berni Yates Knitwear, which was stocked at Harrods and Harvey Nichols. Here, Yates takes us inside her London home. #interiors #mystylemyspace #homeinteriors Visit Elle UK at https://www.elle.com/uk Instagram:   / elleuk   Twitter:   / elleuk   Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/ellemag/ Facebook:   / elleuk
