Knitting Classic Style
by Veronik Avery
|
In fashion, one day you're in, the next day you're out .. and the day after that, you're back in again.
Designers are always referring to fashion's rich history as they imagine its present and future, and
retro looks remain ever-fresh as they are renewed, and restyled, for the next generation of wearers.
That's precisely what top knitwear designer Véronik Avery is up to in Knitting Classic Style.
Mining fashion's endless archive, Avery has created 35 smashingly contemporary garments that take
their cues from decades and designers past. The collection of clothing and accessories that she presents
is organized into four thematic chapters that highlight women's wear, men's wear (plus their influence
on women's and children's clothing), traditional ethnic garb, and sportswear. The author introduces
each of 35 projects by explaining its historical & cultural roots, and Sara Cameron's moody photos
evoke the settings that have inspired Avery's reworkings of the classics.
