THE COLLECTION
Collections are defined by vibrant colors and a distinctive approach to knitwear. Each piece is a blend of art, usability and innovative technological solutions. With meticulous attention to detail and carefully selected color palettes, our designs are crafted to make you feel confident and special.
The starting point for the SS25 collection was the figure of the American art collector Peggy Guggenheim. The designs draw from her extravagant style and most importantly her character-living in harmony with herself, embracing the courage to be a 'black sheep" and stepping outside the box.
