Item description from seller

Classic projects that will maintain their appeal for many years instead of just one or two fashion seasonsElegant yet retro-cool projectsIn fashion, one day youre in, the next day youre out . . . and the day after that, youre back in again. Designers are always referring to fashions rich history as they imagine its present and future, and retro looks remain ever-fresh as they are renewedand restyledfor the next generation of wearers.Thats precisely what top knitwear designer Veronik Avery is up to in Knitting Classic Style. Mining fashions endless archive, Avery has created 35 smashingly contemporary garments that take their cues from decades and designers past. The collection of clothing and accessories Avery presents is organized into four thematic chapters that highlight womens wear, mens wear (and its influence on womens and childrens clothing), traditional ethnic garb, and sportswear.Aimed at both beginning and more advanced knitters, the books projects range in difficulty from a simple drawstring purse, French beret, and Afghan-inspired slipper-socks to a shawl-collared cardigan, a geometric ski sweater based on a popular 1950s Native American design, and Averys own reinterpretation of the trimly elegant Chanel jacket. The author introduces each project by explaining its historical/cultural roots; Sara Camerons moody photos evoke the settings that have inspired Averys reworkings of the classics. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged.…

Store description

In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we’re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.…
