Applique as a means for men's knitwear decoration

Abstract

Todays to look stylish, to meet modern trends, to have a beautiful appearance are the tasks that are relevant not only for women but for men also. Men's fashion is much more conservative and therefore has remained faithful to the classic suit for a long time. But the reality makes adjustments. Men's wardrobe has got images for work, rest, meetings with friends. In the upcoming autumn-winter season, men's clothing becomes more casual: free-cut products, cozy soft knitwear, which differ in particular decoration. The most effective and unique clothes` decoration can be created by an applique that has a long history and has undergone a transformation from a means of repairing clothes to a contemporary type of creativity. The possibility of using different (by colors, structures, surfaces, etc) materials for applique opens up unlimited space for the embodiment of any fantasy, and therefore it is very popular with modern fashion designers. The paper presents a result of design work for creating a collection of men's knitted cardigans with unique abstract appliques.
