Introduction [1]
String Theory is a partnership between two textile designers, Meghan Price and Lysanne Latulippe, with Megan specializing in weaving and Lysanne, specializing in knitting.
Megan Price is an artist and woven textile designer. She was born in Montreal and is based in Toronto. Her career encompasses an active art practice, commissioned and collaborative design projects, and she teaches at the Ontario College of Art & Design University in Toronto. Price had a degree in Textile Construction from the Montreal Centre for Contemporary Textiles and a Master of Fine Arts with a specialization in Fibre from Concordia University in Montreal.
Lysanne Latulippe lives and works in Montreal. She has taught at the Montreal Center for Contemporary Textiles since 2005. In 2000, she earned a diploma in Textile Construction. An expert in the field of knit design, she also consults and collaborates with businesses and independent fashion designers.
String Theory [1]
String Theory's scarves and shawls are distinguished by their exclusive pattern designs and by the look and feel of their long-wearing quality. Knitted and woven with yarns such as Peruvian baby alpaca and Italian Merino, these fabrics are a pleasure to live in.

As constructed textile designers, String Theory work with the maths and physics of thr fibers, yarns, knitting and weaving to develp structure, pattern and texture. Consequently they are inspired by structures and patterns observed in the built and natural world.

Essentially they are interested in how our world comes together and falls apart and the patterns that occur in the process.
A simple woven textile designed scarf. Note the knit design at the end to give the scarf a finality.
Note: The phrase String Theory is borrowed from a theory mostly developed by the late Stephen Hawking. In physics, string theory is a theoretical construct in which the point-like particles in terms of particle physics are replaced by one-dimensional objects called strings. String theory describes how these strings propagate through space and how they interact with each other. It is a discredited theory in physics.
