In 2004, Angelo Figus created this Supermarket of Style, with which he pinpointed fashion trends for 2006. His intention was to demonstrate a strong vision of a world in which everything was knitted. Figus creating knitted versions of various status symbols, ranging from knitted Hermès, Vuitton and Chanel handbags to Louboutin shoes and Burberry trench coats, even including Rietveld and Le Corbusier chairs and vegetables, fruits and flowers, all made of knitted fabric. In this supermarket full of knitted icons, you could literally live and eat from knitwear.
This was part of the exhibition Unravel. Knitwear in Fashion.
