And the winner of the suprise trend of LFW a/w 11 goes to... crochet, and if you're thinking this is a fabric that looks vaguely familiar it's probably because you've seen it before in the form of your nanna's homemade blanket. But nostalgia aside , it appears the trend for all things homespun is set to be big next season, with Henry Holland and Christopher Kane sending their interpretations down this catwalk at London Fashion Week. Kane took the traditional craftsey throw and reworked it for the modern woman, showing it in dark hues of black, forest green and electric blue with the odd flash of aquamarine and coating it to create wet-look crochet. Over at House of Holland, Henry H went for a ironic vibe, opting for bright, poppy colours and showing crochet print playsuits, prom dresses and tights. So, if your primary school textiles class tuition of how to knit is as rusty as mine, I recommend you get knitting your crochet scarf now. Who knows, you might even be finished by a/w11....
actually the trend looks cute, not bad vibrant patterns...
