Elegant yet retro-cool projects

In fashion, one day youâ€™re in, the next day youâ€™re out . . . and the day after that, youâ€™re back in again. Designers are always referring to fashionâ€™s rich history as they imagine its present and future, and retro looks remain ever-fresh as they are renewedâ€”and restyledâ€”for the next generation of wearers.

Thatâ€™s precisely what top knitwear designer VÃ©ronik Avery is up to in Knitting Classic Style. Mining fashionâ€™s 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 womenâ€™s wear, menâ€™s wear (and its influence on womenâ€™s and childrenâ€™s clothing), traditional ethnic garb, and sportswear.

Aimed at both beginning and more advanced knitters, the bookâ€™s 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 Averyâ€™s own reinterpretation of the trimly elegant Chanel jacket. The author introduces each project by explaining its historical/cultural roots; Sara Cameronâ€™s moody photos evoke the settings that have inspired Averyâ€™s reworkings of the classics.
