This was the very first picture in the Invisible Jumpers series.
Nina Dodd painstakingly designed and hand-knitted this sweater to match the upholstery of the bus seats in Brighton, UK. Jimmy was in the local barber’s when Nina spotted him through the window. Little did he know he was about to be press-ganged into posing for an eccentric picture. He agreed to model and Brighton & Hove Buses kindly lent us a bus for the shoot. Everyone loved this first picture and I started hunting for more ideas.
