80’s!

Hat:

The same slouchy shape as the red one. Here Sidsel has attached mother of pearl buttons in all shades of the rainbow. Yarn: Rauma Ullvarefabrikk, Finullgarn and Plum. Sizes: S/M (L/XL). Knitted using 3.5 mm/US 4 and 4 mm/ US 6. Knitting techniques: Stocking stitch, colourwork and rib.

waisted jackets, oversized sweaters, men’s jackets and hotpants — or shorts as we call them now. Those of us who have lived a bit, remember all this from the yuppie era in the 80’s!

he designs in this chapter might as well have been garments from our 80’s wardrobe!

Trend analysts and fashion journalists are all on the same track. There is little innovation at present, all the trends we see are more regurgitation and recycling than ever! Close copies are made from 50’s, 60’s, 70’s and 80’s styles, and historical, vintage romance rules as never before. In addition, a re-make of The Great Gatsby premiered last year with Leonardo di Caprio and elegant 20’s fashions. And again, it is being demonstrated how much influence these movies have on fashion. Are we really creative any more? Do we manage to create something new? Or is what we see a natural reaction to the modern stock-exchange bubbles, crises and excess. Turn the clock back to mother’s cooking, and reverse to an era when everything was safer, more predictable and well known? Those who survive will see...

Nevertheless, it is IN to knit!

Stripy jacket 02: The jacket is asymmetrical with raglan decreasing. The double breasted buttons are just for decoration, it is closed with a zip. Yarn: Lana Grossa Elastico Big. Sizes: 36/38 (40/42)
