Buy it now: Landscape sweaters

Raf Simons SS15

There are landscape sweaters and there are landscape sweaters. I like the ones that have some sort of handmade, homespun element to them, such as J W Anderson’s bucolic offerings for SS15 and Barrie’s cashmere’s (now in the sale).

For properly rustic landscape knitwear, you could always knit your own from a Sweaterscapes pattern. Or alternatively, there are these rather excellent landscape socks… (more…)

THE DRG STYLE INDEX: TRADEMARK, LUCKY MAGAZINE, SAINT LAURENT

Here’s the latest weekly DRG STYLE INDEX ranking, a round-up of the brands currently buzzing on my radar…

Preen pre-fall 2015

1 Preen-By-Thornton-Bregazzi-pre-fall-2015

According to WWD, Preen’s pre-fall 2015 collection was inspired by 70s Faye Dunaway and 90s Courney Love and Kurt Cobain, which you can just detect in the plaid prints, jersey sweatshirting and abundance of sequins. I love the styling with the hair band and flat boots with bare legs, plus all the oversized proportions… (more…)
