Knitwear has always been one of the most challenging jobs to fill in fashion. That’s no surprise; it’s an art form that incorporates craftsmanship as well as innovative design skills. The person has to be VERY talented. Usually companies like their textile designers to have a graphic design background as well as fashion. This is evident in the design above. This sample is a piece created by Huafu and Jiangsu. It was featured at the SPINEXPO for A/W 2014/15. As you can see, the colors are vibrant and they meld together like butter. This is wear the taste factor plays it’s part. The knitting techniques vary, which ads texture to the overall look and feel. Incorporating knitwear to your wardrobe is always a good idea because it’s appropriate for any season. A wider knit looks great for summer, while a tighter knitted sweater with a heavier natural fiber is better for winter. I think the sample above would make a beautiful sweater. I stated in my editors letter that the mood for summer was bright and cheery with pops color. The knitwear trend analysis books I’ve reviewed also feature bright tones in red, yellow, and orange. Winter this year might not be so bad after all?
