Knitwear designers are in high demand
Knitwear‘s leap from classic wardrobe staple to outfit-making hero piece has pushed knitwear designers to the front of fashion’s pecking order, but there aren’t enough of them to keep up with the demand for standout sweaters. Sheena Butler-Young explores this talent shortage for Business of Fashion. “Creating distinctive knitwear pieces requires deep knowledge of materials like wool and cashmere, plus command of advanced stitching techniques and complicated machinery,” Butler-Young writes. “Such expertise is rare, particularly in the U.S.” {Business of Fashion}
