A collection of vintage-inspired knits by top designers Kaffe Fassett, Kim Hargreaves, Sarah Dallas, Martin Storey, Sharon Peake, Louisa Harding, Brandon Mably and Lucinda Guy. The post-war period of the late 40's, 50's and 60's seems a golden, unhurried age, and it's to this era, with its mood of renewal, that we look for fashion inspiration. Drawing on old photographs, films and archives of knitting patterns to bring this period look alive, the designers whose work is featured in this book have updated and adapted classic designs to make them easy to wear. The collection encapsulates the feel for quality materials, lasting craftsmanship, classic looks and, above all, a real sense of style. 30 original knitted pieces for women and men from top designers. includes coloured charts and diagrams, and clear knitting instructions. Beautiful photographs throughout capture the spirit of the post-war era and places it in a contemporary framework
