..Men taking over women..

James Long s/s 11
Since researching Mens knitwear for a university project I have found a huge market  in
the Male market in catwalk alongside high street....
Graduates are creating oversized , textured garments in one colour which is not the market I believe the youth to want..
Different types of male knitwear:
* Combination of colours
*Combination of techniques
*Classic vs New Youth
*Fashionable
*Young Looking
*Contrast of fitted and tailoring done in a classic way

There is a big market and Iam currently trying to make my mark with my current university project of Menswear Knit Collection...I hope you enjoy when the pictures arrive.

Lily & Albert knitwear..

Inhabiting whatever surroundings you choose to wear it in!
Great motto!
With a wide variety of hand knitted hats, socks and jumpers this company wouldn't look out of place in Brighton or Bournemouth with that seaside feel about the knit techniques. http://www.lilyandalbert.com/ourshop/cat_273826-All.html


Wanting hand knitted items this company Lily & Albert has a versitile range and works as a unisex range...

I'm Camel back...

Topshop Camel cape , similar to ASOS cape with a different opening at the front..

Camel coloured items that are on the high street are coats , however like they say fashion goes around in circles but takes on the modern approach.

Camel being a colour related to Autumn is more likely to mix with the browns, olive greens, reds and has now turned to be a fashionable colour rather than an older ladies staple piece!

ASOS Knitwear...



 Bold colour, interesting texture, great for Autumn..
 
Current Knitwear in basic colours and technique but pur together in an interesting way..
 Jacquard in a muted colour pallet works well with chunky wedges and sheepskin accessories..

I love this whole outfit and the contrast of materials with simple knitwear, leather and nautical theme..


A lot of affordable and interesting Knitwear shown in ASOS , colours suitable for Autumn and Winter..
