Crochet and knitwear: the hand-made trend of summer Traditional fabric processing techniques blend with the contemporary

The return of tailoring, made-in-Italy and hand-made has brought with itself all the traditional techniques of processing fabrics, like knitwear and crochet. Many of us have probably seen their mothers or grandmothers at least once in their life juggle with crochet and colorful strings of fabric, making soft, light garments and accessories.

The latest summer catwalks of the Fashion Weeks have been enriched with hand-made clothing, fresh and delicate, with weaves of fabrics that envelop the body. From Altuzarra, with its crochet top-corsets, to Marine Serre, offering wide tunics and hand-bags: let's get inspired to reinvent our summer wardrobe with items that recall tradition. And for those who have experience with crochet, why not try making their own knitwear items?
