Think summer; think colorful crochet dresses paired with cute macrame bags. Well, thanks to the revival of the Gen-Z approved Y2K trends, crochet everything has been dominating the SS’23 runways and our feeds. The much-loved ‘60s and ‘70s trend got a stylish update with Ulla Johnson re-making this in a slouchy sweater-skirt set; while Carolina Herrera’s A-Line mini-shift dresses left us wanting more. The thing we love about crochet though: the fact that it has a rich history that dates back centuries. Originating from the word ‘croche’ in 19th-century France, it refers to the process of creating fabric by interlocking loops of yarn or thread with a hooked needle. Originally practiced by skilled artisans, crochet has been passed down through generations as a treasured craft, preserving its artistry and authenticity.
