JumperCity was a one day installation piece that appeared in Manchester's city centre yesterday. Created by Jane Leach and Valpuri Vihriala (who you may remember as the creator of the fashion collection I photographed last year) and part of the RIBA Love Architecture Festival currently taking place across the country, the artwork involved one of the Piccadilly Gardens many bus shelters being covered by 150 items of knitwear.
While I was taking photographs, a number of people came up to find out more about the installation, exploring inside the shelter and interact with it - It was possible to actually "wear" some of the exterior jumpers - and they all appeared to be delight by what they found judging by the sticker board.
You can read more about the project by reading Jane and Valpuri's blog posts. There's also more photographs of the work in this flickr set.
