It is a fine example of the highly decorated and intricately detailed fantasy knitwear designed by Beth Brett. Born in London and educated in the United States, Brett returned to London to set up her knitwear business. Brett's highly designed and decorated women's fashion knitwear was sold to influential retailers in London, USA, Canada, Hong Kong, Japan and Australia. \r\n\r\nBrett's designs were considered as \"wearable art\" by her British and American clients. Her work is distinguished by a romantic appeal achieved through eclectic mixings of colour, texture and surface embellishment. Given to the V&A by the designer's husband following her death in 2003, this design exemplifies the fantasy knitwear that was popular during the 1980s.","physicalDescription":"White leather jacket with white and gold stylised chevron knitted sleeves, floral appliqués, gold leather fringe and beaded embellishment at both front and back.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Brett, Beth","id":"A27463"},"association":{"text":"designer","id":"x36960"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"Leather, knitted wool, embroidery and appliqué","categories":[{"text":"Fashion","id":"THES48957"},{"text":"Textiles","id":"THES48885"},{"text":"Europeana Fashion Project","id":"THES265804"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"T&F","id":"THES48601"},"images":["2012FM6842","2012FM6843","2012FM6965","2012FL6285","2012FL6286","2012FL6267","2017KE4918","2017KE4936","2017KE4937","2017KE4938","2017KE4939","2017KE4940"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"007","id":"THES312919"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"jacket","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Great Britain","id":"x32019"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1985","earliest":"1980-01-01","latest":"1989-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"Given by Herb Goldschmidt","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Length","value":"72.5","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Circumference","value":"97","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"bust","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"'Beth Brett / London'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Lable at centre back"}],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Jacket, F, white leather with knitted gold sleeves, appliqué and fringe, Beth Brett, Britain, ca. 1985.","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"","productionType":{"text":"","id":""},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["T.79-2009"],"accessionNumberNum":"79","accessionNumberPrefix":"T","accessionYear":2009,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2025-04-16","recordCreationDate":"2009-07-09","availableToBook":true}}
