NEWS IN Sweater

Por Vocacao has received a bunch of cool Acne sweaters. You can actually get the sweaters in every Acne shop but you should take a look at this online shop for they have an amazing collection of hype brands. But let’s come back to the Acne College sweaters. I really like the three pictured above : the burgundy is my favourite and I could really get one just to look like like a Harvard student !

Pursuing its inspiration from University campuses of America’s East Coast, our beloved french label Kitsuné brings this crew-neck graphic sweatshirt with a retro Parisian-inspired twisted print. From the graphic font alluding to a Parisian Metro sign, to the double length cuff and hem in soft washed cotton, this piece combines the splendour of Paris with the comfort of college sportswear. That’s precisely what Kitsuné does best ! I consider a quick purchase at the Parisian store but for the moment it is only available at Très Bien Shop for 190€, which is almost fair for Kitsuné.

When Maison Martin Margiela gets Ivy inspired, the result is obviously terrific! This cream sweater from Maison Martin Margiela is a knitted cricket inspired sweater with a navy and red striped V-neck. It is the perfect complement to a light blue oxford button-down and a khaki chino unlike the picture hereabove.

I love a basic sweater and I always think that if there is a graphic print or logo or text, it must have a meaning. It has to say something, should it be understood only by the discerning few. With this sweater, Rodarte brings back the charming series of super-soft Radarte tees and sweatshirts in exclusivity for Opening Ceremony. The line is the east-coast version of American Apparel : playful, cozy basics that say “I know how to dress”.

We saw this sweater last month at (capsule) show in the corner of the newly launched french online store La Belle Echoppe that gathers super duper hype French made products. The whole corner was full of really gorgeous products and among them was this navy sweater made by FrenchTrotters. It’s 100% wool with nylon patches and it’s made in our Bretagne in the far south-west of the Morbihan for those who can locate it. It’s inspired by the french navy and will work perfectly with any sort of shorts/pants and espadrilles.  Read the rest of this entry »

I think everybody must have  seen them somewhere on the web by now : the Givenchy Rottweiler-printed sweaters or t-shirts ! They were the pinnacle of Givenchy’s AW 2011 runway and have then been worn by Kanye West and Liv Tyler. You can hate him or love him but you can’t stay indifferent to Givenchy’s creative director Riccardo Tisci work when it comes to inspiration, especially this season when he based the latest menswear collection on a ferocious rottweiler. I almost bought the sweater yesterday in Paris but I felt like I was beeing compulsive again so I stopped… Read the rest of this entry »
