If it´s the knitted curiosities crafted by Donna Wilson and Vík Prjónsdóttir, soft flowing noble-creations from Louise Wahlgreen and Patafisic or the progressive knit-provocations by Sibling and cooperativedesigns – for me, knit is one of the most fascinating division in fashion design. As more designers I detect, as more excited I am, about the plurality of creations that come out of simple balls of wool.

Few months ago, the limited Wear It For The Boy ladyfingers collection caught my eyes – light, summerly knit-dresses, manufactured with a special technique and knitted with a shiny cotton made in Italy.

Sibling bangs – barely two months old, the new bold and in-your-face men’s knitwear label leads the way. With luxurious materials, eye-catching designs and prices that make me dizzy, the three east-end designers Sid Bryan, Cozette McCreery and Joe Bates give knitwear for men a kick up the arse and subvert the classic knitwear styles in a playful and progressive way. With (for example) sequined Breton twinsets, beaded Leopard twinsets, a hand-embroidered Carousel pony head sweater the Sibling designs are totally avant-garde without producing a painful exerted impression.
Honor to whom honor is due – Sibling wow´s me away for today and I strongly recommend the interview with Bryan, McCreery and Bates, Hint Magazine published here.

The limited ladyfingers dress by WEAR IT FOR THE BOY is made from handmade knitted shiny cotton from Italy. A special knitting technique makes the dress very light in spite of the big shape and draped look and I state that it´s one of THE dresses you will wear on and on and on and on and on.

When frog-green Sleepy Pom drags you with into the forests to search for four-leaved cloverleaves while at home, squirrel Rudy Racoon rummages through your possessions – don´t be surprised:
You are in Donna Wilson´s wonderland! (more…)

It´s new, it´s from Denmark and it welcomes our male chicks with agreeable knock about clothes.

A pinch of humor, a hint of laxness and the graphics, patterns and colors that are oftentimes typical for Scandinavian young designers are shaked, and the result is a wearable overall look.… (more…)
