Radical Knitwear
Martin Margiela, autumn/winter 1999–2000. Wrapped shetland woollen dress made from two pieces of knitted fabric, one shaped. This concept reflects the simplest form of body-covering used from ancient times. The pieces are knitted ‘garment blanks’ with a traditional rib for the welt, but used in a direct manner instead of being cut and sewn into a classic shape. Margiela interrupts the knitwear production process at a very early stage.Knitwear in Fashion by Sandy Black
