The "brief comparison" post is becoming a sort of a stable column on this site, so let's honour it today with a quick juxtaposition between music and knitwear. Today's comparison looks indeed at Joy Division's iconic cover for the album "Unknown Pleasures" (1979) and at a top made with abyss blue "Empire" yarn from the Spring/Summer 2014 collection of Italian yarn manufacturer Safil (specialised in a wide range of yarns for knitting, weaving, and furnishing but also high tech yarns).
The album cover by Peter Saville was based on an image of radio waves from pulsar CP 1919, from The Cambridge Encyclopedia of Astronomy, that Saville reversed from black-on-white to white-on-black; the top features instead an intriguing waving layered motif inspired by one of the key trends for the S/S 14 season – deconstructing and reconstructing geometric forms and architectures to create new aesthetic rules.
