KNITWEAR Rustic Texture: Fair Isle and Navajo-inspired pattern is given a textural update with exposed floats, patchwork and woven-in stitches. Decorative Dimension: dimensional cable and popcorn stitches bring a decorative element to Aran-inspired sweaters. Artisanal Fringing: fringing continues to be a key stitch feature, evolving from the glossy, synthetic yarns of previous seasons into more robust wool tapes. Folk Florals: embroidered florals, hand-stitching and sequin embellishments are applied over cable and marl patterns, building texture and evoking traditional folk-costume motifs and vintage stitch effects. Monochrome Jacquard: graphic pattern repeats in softened monochrome tones of natural ecru and cream update traditional Nordic and Eastern European patterns on merino and cashmere yarns.  Brushed Pattern: brushed mohair and synthetic yarns update traditional checks with softer appeal. Animal Update: animal-print and camouflage effects are updated with vibrant color and bold, exploded-scale pattern. Refined Openwork: this features in small-scale repeats or banded pattern on semi-sheer fine-gauge knits. Graphic Blocking: graphic stripes are an ongoing trend, with stark, two-tone panels looking the most directional. Love Hearts: tongue-in-cheek and kitsch cartoon imagery continues to be a strong commercial trend for the younger market. Vegetal Marls: marl and space-dye yarns are key for mid- to heavy-gauge knits, from ribbed polos and tunics through to tailored jackets.
