Reviews
As a boon for the up-and-coming designer and a brilliant panorama for any fashionista, British professor Fogg describes and illuminates each decade of “knitdom” in words and pictures and through biographies and explanation of unusual terms and techniques. This luxurious volume is one that readers will dawdle over; how could, for example, anyone not linger over details of the rivalry between Coco Chanel and Elsa Schiaparelli? Or the insertion of Hollywood into the wartime 1940s, with sweater-girl Lana Turner finally promoting the seductiveness of knitwear. The learning is multiple here; bird’s-eye views of the work of famed designers (for instance, Paul Poiret, Hattie Carnegie, Rudi Gernreich) are partnered with “back office” information about technology (for instance, the invention of the flat knitting machine and Tencel fabric). A visual summary of the particular decade’s most important contributions is featured on a double-spread at the end. Everything old is new again, as the introduction from world-known yarnist Kaffe Fassett underscores. Collecting and caring for vintage knitwear is addressed. --Barbara Jacobs
