Weave and Embroidery and other crafts have been heavily influnencing knit, artisan crafts. Pattern is heavy in this trend, winter garden, applique leaves, kidsplay, scribbled embroidery crafted yarns and interwoven layered yarns. Again jacquard this time in bright contrasting playful colours on double beds and textural heavy guage sweaters for later seasons. Treated yarns, fringes, checks, woven in ends... this is a playful trend full of creativity the only limit is imagination.

Shown in Westminster Abbey, the Gucci collection took a deep dive into British culture and eccentricity. As Alesandro Michele declared "with this inspiration I could work all my life". A nod to punk, tartan, skinny pants, references to victoriana, embellished with details from the 70's to gothic, slick with Italian style but keenly with a nod to both British pop culture of old and new. May Brexit take note, you have always been IN.
