It’s hip to wear a knit.

Knitwear is enjoying a huge revival it’s the new cool.

Beautiful knitwear is growing in popularity not like in the 1980s when choice was more limited and many garments looked like something Granny would make, and you wouldn’t be seen wearing alive or dead.

Now a days there are many beautiful and original knitted garments and originality is everything it gets you noticed making you stand out from the crowd.

Style icons including Kate Moss, Madonna,and Julia Roberts are just some who are getting into the knitwear fashion revival.

All the major fashion labels have featured knitwear in some shape or form in their 2007 Autumn / Winter collections.
