The revolution in the art of knitting has made it the most exciting textile medium of the present day. Developments in modern technology, a revival of traditional craft skills and a new appreciation of couture workmanship have conspired to bring knitwear to the forefront of fashion. From Julien Macdonald's cobweb confections and Lainey Keogh's filigree works of art, through Prada's classics with a twist and Missoni's rainbow zigzags and stripes, to Martin Margiela's avant-garde deconstructions and Issey Miyake's revolutionary clothing concept A-POC, the best of today's fashion designers are bringing radical ideas to this most traditional of forms." "Illustrated and complete with an extensive reference section covering the technology of knitting, developments in design and fibres, as well as a glossary of technical terms and biographies of designers, Knitwear in Fashion shows off the very best in contemporary international knitwork.Collection
