Iconic American womenswear brand Reformation has launched a collaborative collection with everyone’s favourite quirky London-based fashion label Shrimps for the cutest Christmas collection around.

This limited-edition collection of classic and novelty knits has been inspired by cosy seasonal gatherings and the rather abstract concept of playing weird card games around the fireplace with one’s charming yet abrasive family to capture an essence of “cozy revelry of the holiday season through the classic charm of Reformation and the endearing playfulness of Shrimps”.

The Reformation x Shrimps collection has been crafted from a luxurious blend of regenerative wool and 95 percent recycled cashmere in Ref’s unrelenting quest for sustainability across the fashion industry, once again claiming that if being naked is the most sustainable choice, then Ref is a close second. A statement on which we wholeheartedly agree.

Each piece in the collection continues to promote the whimsical nature and has each been named after a suit of cards. From the Diamond Cashmere Turtleneck to the Queenie Cashmere Cardigan, Hearts Cable Crew and Clover Cashmere Sweater Vest, this collection injects some playfulness into the designer world, a relief that is nothing short of a Christmas gift.

The collaboration also includes some fun giftable items so you can continue to spread the joy come December. The crocheted coasters offer a little piece of love for the home, adding a sentimental touch to your family coffee table, or rather aptly: game board. Our favourite gift however has to be the darling wool sweater, complete with ruffle collar, for your beloved furry friend. If your dog doesn’t deserve a gift this Christmas, then no one does.

This quirky and classy collection is now available on Reformation.com and Shrimps.com, with prices ranging from £98 to £348 so what are you waiting for? This limited-edition collection is dying for you to cosy up in your jumper and wreak havoc in your family card game… good luck.

]]> The news we’ve all been waiting to hear: Gigi Hadid will create her own fashion line. 

Despite being booked and busy in the fashion industry, the supermodel is applying her expertise to her new clothing line, ‘Guest in Residence’. 

In an Instagram post on August 4th, the model teased that she was working on something new by sharing pictures of the behind-the-scenes process for her new knitwear label alongside the message “been working on something …. with love, @guestinresidence”.  

Her announcement comes after she was recently pictured walking around New York City in a modern interpretation of skater girl fashion. Her outfit featured ripped jeans, Converse sneakers, and a knitted vest- whose designer is still unknown. Could this be the first glimpse of the upcoming collection?

The model shared photos of her looking at fabric swatches in various colours and mock-ups of possible designs. In the little glimpse we got, the tones are certainly hinting at an autumnal vibe. Additionally, Fashion editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson and knitwear expert CJ Kim were also tagged in images that teased the upcoming products with stacks of clothes folded near a window. 

Creatures of Comfort

It seems that Gigi is embracing elegant knitwear. A soft collection of separates and knits is shown, made from wools and cashmere yarns. The pieces are definitely putting rest and relaxation front and centre. Gigi served as her label’s own model posing in a canary yellow long-sleeve sweater and a relaxed fitted pyjama set. 

Her bio has been updated to highlight her new titles as “founder, creative director” of Guest in Residence.

Even though Gigi Hadid is already an expert in the fashion industry, she can also turn to her older sister for advice. Recently, Alana opened up about her summer clothing line, La Detresse, in an interview with E! News.

Currently, it is unknown when Gigi Hadid’s new label will launch, but we can expect a fall/winter launch.

]]> Handmade knits are truly a spring staple. Their comfortable design in fresh pastel hues means they’re destined for a space in your spring wardrobe. But, when it comes to purchasing spring knits, it’s easy to be drawn in by fast fashion labels who have little regard for sustainability or artisanal creation. With this in mind, we’ve gathered the couture designers who put sustainability and handmade magic at the forefront of their designs. So, if you’re ready to give everyone spring outfit envy, these designers are for you!

Kevin Germanier

Germanier’s dreamy upcycled crochet work sees sustainable fashion like never before. If you’re looking to up your sustainability game while staying on trend this season, Germanier’s innovative and exciting designs have reinvented the fashion game. Ex- Central Saint Martins student Kevin Germanier understood the gap in the market for sustainable handmade garments in the high fashion sphere, he uses crochet and beading to create futuristic and fun designs like corset illusion tees and rainbow denim jeans.

Germanier’s first-ever runway show this month was an explosion of colour and creativity that debuted Germanier’s beaded crochet technique. Dazzling tees and feather embellished garments in wonderous summer-ready hues are set to make your wardrobe pop this season.

Bailey Prado

Inspired by the authentic youth culture of London, Californian designer Bailey is our first point of call for spring knitwear. With an ethos of inspiring women of colour, the label’s colourful knits complete with cheeky noughties cut-outs and embellishments are this season’s must-have.

The designer produces original deconstructed knitwear from artisanal mini skirts to uniquely embellished balaclavas; all humbly crocheted by hand. The breathable garments are ideal for the upcoming sunny months, while Prado’s favour for pastel hues means her looks are made for this time of the year.

Maison Cleo

Models in Maison Cleo’s Spring/ Summer campaign (revealed to Instagram this week) are giving us major spring outfit envy. The mother/daughter owned label brings together their love for each other and handmade clothing to create stunning and sustainable knitwear. Mini- skirts, cropped tees, and mesh designs are all made to order in France- giving you the most authentic spring fashion experience.

The designers are beyond dedicated to their ethical ethos. Their pieces are made from wasted material, making a small but impactful step away from fast fashion.

Knitwear has evolved from being an essential garment to a statement piece in our wardrobe. We no longer buy these items for the sole purpose to keep us warm but also for their appearance and on trend look. Who would have thought a few years ago basic cardigans and jumpers would be the focal point of our outfits? It used to be a clothing piece we would put on reluctantly as it covered up our outfits underneath and felt unflattering, now we have a fresh view and are embracing the return of knitwear this season.

It is almost time for the clocks to go back and the cardigans to come on as Autumn approaches. Knitwear has evolved from being an essential garment to a statement piece in our wardrobe. We no longer buy these items for the sole purpose to keep us warm but also for their appearance and on trend look. Who would have thought a few years ago basic cardigans and jumpers would be the focal point of our outfits? It used to be a clothing piece we would put on reluctantly as it covered up our outfits underneath and felt unflattering, now we have a fresh view and are embracing the return of knitwear this season. 

This Autumn we are also exploring how knitwear does not just stop at jumpers but its appearing in all forms including dresses and trousers. Here are a range of outfits that reflect the love for this style, ready for the upcoming season to keep you on trend.  

Knitted Vests

The cooler months gives us the opportunity to play around with different styles such as layering and a style where we have seen this appear are with knitted vests paired with a shirt. This is a trend we saw through last autumn and is one we are welcoming back gladly. However, this year the vests have come back with a retro twist, available in bolder patterns and playful colours. Even though you do not have to layer these pieces, it adds a sophisticated look for those more formal plans.

Knitted dresses

Just because the sun is hiding away it does not mean our legs have to hide away for the whole season too. Knitted midi dresses are an essential for this autumn, paired with a pair of laced up ankle boots and a leather jacket it takes knitwear and makes it chic. There’s also a variety of necklines to choose from including polo and sweetheart. As well the midi length highlights your curves and keeps you warm whilst remaining feminine. 

Knitted Trousers

You may think knitwear is just for our top halves, however a style appearing from many brands this season are knitted trousers. They have been seen appearing as part of a co ord, which can be dressed down to lounge around in with style or paired with some chunky trainers and statement jewellery for a day out.

Puff sleeved jumpers

Even though we are enjoying these new forms of knitwear, you can’t beat a classic cosy jumper to wrap up in. One style which has been repeatedly popping up are the puff sleeved knits which are guaranteed to help you make a statement with their extravagant details adding volume to a basic jumper. You can either show off this trend subtly or go all out with an extreme balloon sleeve.  

Cut out knits

The cut-out trend is one which has been seen everywhere this past spring/summer season and has been adopted by many brands. However, it is not just constricted to these summer months, it is being brought into the following season with us. This detailing has been seen appearing on jumpers, skirts, and dresses whether it’s on the neckline or placed at the back, it is a chic look we can expect to see a lot of this autumn.

]]> Asymmetrical, avant-garde knitwear looks that are bondage-inspired, futuristic and comfortable to wear at the same time have hit all major catwalks this year, and every designer seems to have jumped on the bandwagon. From Ludovic de Saint Sernin, Nensi Dojaka, Jacquemus to Isabel Marant and high-fashion brands such as Bottega Veneta, every designer is coming out with knitwear creations, but we think that Andrea Adamo is the genius that reinvented knitwear.

As he recalls in an interview with Vogue Italia, his whole principle in fashion is to feel naked even when wearing clothes. Before launching his namesake brand, he worked for Elisabetta Franchi, Roberto Cavalli, and even in the Dolce & Gabbana atelier as a head designer for celebrities.

In almost no time he consolidated his professional experiences and went from having no formal education at a prestigious university, to designing Madonna’s 2017 birthday dress at Dolce & Gabbana. Celebrities seem to have a sweet spot for him, and arguably he built his hype by working with Bella Hadid, Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Nicole Kidman, Zendaya, Rihanna, Katy Perry, Adele and JLo. And he didn’t even study fashion, but pursued graphics to later discover it wasn’t his path. He Despite his troubled beginnings, he was always certain that he was going to make it, and that is why he even rejected job offers from prestigious brands that recognized his talent whilst studying at university because he felt like he couldn’t fully dedicate himself. And now everyone is talking about him, after one year of establishing his own brand. His first two collections were both extremely successful, and the sales keep going up.

His talent is completely incomparable to any other designer, so much that he often found himself jobless for his unique style. Employers would tell him that his talent was obvious, but not the time to exhibit collections like these as they’d have no customers. But he invested all on himself, his brand and his ambitions, and the brand is truly encapsulating what is missing in the fashion scene. His clothes are the epitome of sophistication, with a rebellious influence that screams avant-garde but feels very wearable too. His elastic fabrics beautifully fuse together skin and the dress, in a way that complements and enhances the beauty of the body who’s wearing his creations.

His brand exploded when selling at Net-a-porter, Luisaviaroma and Harvey Nichols. But it was truly after celebrities started posting him on Instagram that his career skyrocketed. Even Kylie’s in love with his designs, and the top she wore on IG became the best-seller and sold out immediately.

He’s also incredibly keen on breaking the lines between men’s clothing and women’s clothing. He intertwines the two beautifully, and he quickly became the staple of genderless fashion.

Hands up, who took up crochet as a lockdown hobby? Yet again it’s trending this spring, from Kali Uchis’ racy bikini to checker board co-ords and Bella’s support of lockdown start up Memorial Day – to get ahead of the game, we’ve compiled a rundown of some of our favourite crochet pieces available to shop right now.

This Zara crocheted two-piece is the ideal beach cover-up, with open lace-up sides perfect for throwing over a bikini. The chic colour palette means you can also dress it up a little for a nice brunch outfit.

The crochet trend is extending out to accessories, and who doesn’t love a crocheted bag? The perfect summer follow-on from 2020’s fishnet shopper bag, this white daisy crocheted bag from Mango is delicate and perfect for adding a bright Spring/ Summer feel to ensembles.

Brands like Urban Outfitters and Asos have caught on to the trend too, as crochet hats are becoming a staple of the spring season, worn by everyone from Beabadoobee to Bella Hadid.

If you’re not completely feeling the crochet trend but still kind of want to get on board, these Gianvito Rossi crochet mules from MatchesFashion might be the perfect compromise for you. With a subtle hint of the crochet trend, the mules are the perfect match for Spring/Summer dresses and tie in nicely with a crocheted bag if you want to step it up a little without going full out.

For sailor summer vibes, meet the Gucci striped halter neck. With an open back made for warm days, the sailor-inspired crochet top is perfect for any summer food market shopping or seaside walk. The piece can even be layered up for a chillier evening.

This Marco Rambaldi cropped tank top from FarFetch is one of our favourites for its perfect Spring/Summer colour palette. With pastels and bright colours trending again this SS, this top is the perfect blend of trends. Its open-knit sides are perfect for warmer days, and it’s a great transfer piece from beach cover-up to a sunset walk when paired with elegant cigarette trousers.

Finally, this ethereal inspired Alexander McQueen’s dress. With a full layered skirt and crocheted hems, the dress is the perfect nod to the trend. Its floaty layers and square neckline embody the fairy-tale style dresses that are growing ever popular this year. Pair with a chunky belt and boots for a more casual style, or simple, strappy heels for a more elegant garden party feel.
