Unravel: Knitwear in Fashion

The exhibition Unravel: Knitwear in Fashion addresses the important decades of knitwear in fashion, demonstrating knitwear’s popularity both on and off the catwalk, and unravelling the changing status of the relationship between knitwear and fashion. Thematically, it showcases the various roles knitwear plays in social and fashion revolutions and addresses knitwear’s different and fluid association with comfort, well-being, and chic.

With this exhibition, MoMu and Woolmark proudly present, in collaboration with partners like Cousy, one of Belgium's last knitting studios, a mix of contemporary and classic knitwear designs, as well as young designers and historical garments. The exhibition challenges certain established ideas, and shows that – far from being old-fashioned and dowdy – knitting is highly versatile, luxurious, and a continuing source of inspiration for high-end fashion.
