In the hand-made garment industry, knitwear is already a "old man" who is hundreds of years old. Even in modern society, most knitwear has been developed from the original hand-made to machine-automatic weaving, and knitwear still has a unique charm.
However, due to the thick fabric of knitwear, in many people's eyes, it mostly appears in the autumn and winter seasons to keep out the cold. But in fact, many hollow knitwear are not only very cool, but also easy to match with other fabrics. Designers of this season's London Fashion Week broke the customary seasonal boundaries and incorporated knitwear as a design element into more spring and summer skirts and short sleeves.
Unlike the autumn and winter knitwear, most of the spring and summer knit elements appear in the details of the costume, as is Victoria Beckham's eponymous brand Victoria Beckham. The brand celebrated its 10th anniversary at London Fashion Week, which was held at the gallery next door to Dover Street, featuring a large lace-trimmed camisole, suit and long skirt with tight-fitting pants.
And if you look closely, you will find knitwear in these designs. A mixed-color knit that is added to a white static T-shirt is a typical design. This colorful fabric avoids the sense of purity produced by the combination of white T and suit, adding some visual impact to the overall garment.
But in fact, such knitwear has become a small part of the clothing, but it seems inevitably a bit thick, so in the design of Victoria Beckham, we can also see the thin and light knitted halter top, this knit harness It can be worn on the outside of the T-shirt, which avoids the sultry heat and mixes the two different textures of the thread and the cloth, adding a lot of clothing fun.
In addition, many people choose to use lightweight sweaters instead of sun protection suits in the summer, and Victoria Beckham replaces the outerwear function of knitwear with a method that covers the outside of other clothing. It looks more natural.
Also like the use of knitwear for summer outfits is Ports 1961. Compared to Victoria Beckham, Ports 1961 is more casual in the use of knitted fabrics. Perhaps considering the higher temperatures in spring and summer, the design of Ports 1961 places more emphasis on the decorative effect of knitwear.
On the ordinary shirt jacket, a wider knitted outer cover and a natural extension of the tassel on the bottom, the overall appearance adds a lot of ethereal feeling to the garment.
Or directly use wide knit as a top or dress, choose a relatively large style, in the fashion can also ensure the coolness of the summer, but also a little more sexy. However, unlike the show, it is important to add a suitable base vest to the knitwear in everyday wear.
Another form of knitwear that appears in London Fashion Week is the integration of knitwear with other fabrics and a special design on the garment.
For example, a design of Ports 1961 combines knit elements with silk. This design is also somewhat biased towards the weaving process, much like the elements that appear in many national styles. In the design of Roland Mouret, this knit element is more refined and ingenious. It reveals the knit elements in a hollow sweater in a hollow sweater, which immediately enhances the sense of quality of the garment.
In addition, JW Anderson, who appeared in stripes this year, also used a lot of knitting elements in the design. Most of these knits divide the garment into different parts in a spliced ​​form, but they also make these parts closely linked. For example, put a loop of knit on the hem of the suit, or replace the middle part of the trousers and skirt with a piece of knitwear.
This design transforms knitwear from a single item into a fashionable design element, which is lined with dots and lined up. This loose fishing net knitting can also bring more textile technology to the society. Thinking.
