Kaffe Fassett The Artist’s Eye
With contributions by Sarah Campbell, Suzy Menkes, Debbie Patterson, Zandra Rhodes, Mary Shoeser, and NJ Stevenson
This book explores Fassett’s career and work in context for the first time, highlighting and widening the scope of his output over more than five decades. Drawing on original artworks, photographs and archival material, it illuminates the work of this distinctive, influential artist and designer. Essays from design and fashion historians sit alongside striking visual material and insightful interviews with Fassett that provide additional context about this prolific artist.
Kaffe Fassett (b. 1937) is one of the most recognised names in contemporary craft and design with work encompassing knitting, needlepoint, quilting, textile design, mosaic, painting and drawing. Fassett’s sense of colour and pattern has inspired makers around the world; his early successes include knitwear designs for fashion designers such as Bill Gibb and Missoni, and in more recent years he has collaborated with the luxury fashion house coach. His inimitable eye can translate the most everyday of details into the basis for one of his colourful, sophisticated, maximalist designs.
