KNITWEAR IN FASHION
"Anyone intrigued by contemporary knits is
bound to be inspired by this comprehensive and
beautifully executed survey of hand- and machineknitted
fashion, artwork, and interior design."
Sandy Black —Interweave Knits
NEW IN PAPERBACK 
Since the 1970s, developments in modern technology, a
revival of traditional craft skills, and a new appreciation of
couture workmanship have ensured knitwear's place at
the forefront of fashion. Lavishly illustrated with hundreds
of color photographs, Knitwear in Fashion showcases the
best in international knitwear, including creations by
designers such as Gaultier, Missoni, Miyake, Prada, and
Westwood, as well as more experimental pieces designed
for the stage and galleries. Whether hand-knitted or industrially produced, traditional or innovative, whimsical or theatrical, ingenious or just plain beautiful, the pieces included here are all stunning examples of the new vogue in knitting. An extensive reference section covers the technology of knitting, innovative fibers, and developments in design, and includes a glossary of technical terms and biographies of designers. Sandy Black is Reader in Knitware and Fashion at the London College of Fashion. She has designed her own label of knitwear as well as knitting kits and patterns. Her previous publications include Original Knitting. "Lushly illustrated volume of up-to-the-minute knitted fashions by international designers." —Fiberarts
"This book speaks volumes on couture workmanship
and the nostalgia for stylish knitwear." —Vogue Knitting International
