"The finest clothing made is a person's skin, but, of course, society demands something more than this." -- Mark Twain
The highlight for me at this year's Craft and Hobby Association's Winter Trade Show was the Lion Brand® Yarn fashion show moderated with Vanna White. She is of course a stitcher herself with a her own line of yarns distributed by Lion Brand®.
The designers were all either in school or recent graduates from around the world. I unfortunately was so busy oggling the lovely designs, that I forgot to write down the designers' names! My apologies to all! Your work is fantastic!
I love the piece above using basic neutrals in a bold, graphic manner. The mustard beret adds a jaunty touch to the ensemble.
Isn't this dress fab! Not terribly functional, but definitely fun! I loved how it moved as the model walked.
Texture in knits is definitely trending. Here is a great example of it used along the arms while picking up the intarsia colorwork. And the hat! A vegetarian fur hat! Gush!
Here you have neutrals worked in horizontal stripes with shots of texture and color.
And for a little evening glam....! I've never been a huge fan of heavily textured yarns, but here they are worked to gorgeous effect! I'm reminded of plummage and Art Deco fashion. Lovely! Ms. White seems to agree.
