Avant-garde knitwear designer, Craig Lawrence, will be presenting a retrospective of his work this Friday as part of the Victoria & Albert museum’s illustrious Fashion In Motion series. The young British designer will be following in the footsteps of fashion greats such as Gareth Pugh (whom Lawrence worked with for a number of seasons), Vivienne Westwood and the late Alexander McQueen, all of who have previously staged celebrated shows at the V&A.

Fusing classic craftsmanship with contemporary concepts has become the foundation to Lawrence’s eponymous label. Every collection since its conception 3 years ago has featured Kyototex (innovative metallic foil wrapped yarns) as well as other unexpected materials creating complex yet delicate structures that continually push the boundaries of conventional knitwear design.

Tomorrows Fashion in Motion event will present 4 consecutive shows staged within the V&A’s Raphael Gallery: Book tickets now from vam.ac.uk
