$0.00

This lively plaid print is named for English textile designer Howard Asher, a prolific creator of geometric double-knit designs in the 1970s. He is said to have created 400 designs in a single year. The chevron motifs in this print mimic a herringbone twill weave. A graph paper-like grid can be seen faintly throughout, in homage to the delicate hand drafting that inspired it.

ABOUT HOWARD’S PLAID

This print is inspired by the archives of English textile designer Howard Asher. He is said to have created four hundred designs in a single year. His meticulous art was drafted by hand, with paper and ink, yet it has a very modern, almost pixel-like digital quality, due to the use of graph paper gridded base. Many of his designs were used for double-knit and other apparel fabrics, which lend themselves to such geometric motifs.
