for the love of knitting

This video from Mulberry proudly honors not only craft but some of the "real" people who make your clothes.  Without a doubt the sweaters these ladies knit are super expensive but in a world of same-same Zara, Joe Fresh, and H&M knock-offs its nice to know there are moments we're allowed to simply appreciate how a designer's vision is precisely played out.

sweater sundays

via: Knit Grandeur

WHO:  Giorgio Armani modeled by Jodie Kidd in German Elle August, 1995

WHAT:  pointelle chevron crewneck pullover

WHY:  perfect transition sweater.  you can wear this elegantly as a traditional Armani customer would (which i am not at all) or i can see it paired with jeans, tough girl boots with buckles a la Givenchy, army green military jacket, and buffalo plaid scarf in red/black for an edgier look.  it also speaks to my love of no-print prints and current decorating desires.  and the black and white image, in and of itself, is sublime

WHERE:  sadly, this shoot was done almost 17 years ago and slim chance you'll find this in any consignment shop (note to self: start online aggregator of vintage designer clothing sites/shops) but here's a few things you might like instead:
