Knitwear rewired

A new dialogue between tradition, technology, innovative materials and experimental techniques reshapes the language of the season. It becomes a field for protection and self-expression, where tactile fibres, sculptural stitches, cables, jacquards and layered constructions redefine volume and proportion.

Crafted irregularities meet technical performance. Fluffy surfaces, metallic light, bold graphics and precious embellishments turn texture into a visual language, balancing memory with a forward-looking sensibility. Familiar constructions are disrupted through patchworked yarns, exposed seams, frayed edges and unexpected combinations of weight, colour and stitch.

Brushed finishes and open-work structures introduce softness and permeability, while compact ribs, engineered reliefs and dense, protective layers bring structure and presence. Details are no longer secondary: they trace the surface, reveal the making process and create new rhythms across the body.

From statement V-necks to kinetic fringes, pattern stories and engineered surfaces, the Autumn/Winter 2027/28 Knitwear Focus maps the key developments shaping the season.

The complete Autumn/Winter 2027/28 Knitwear Focus is available in the Members Area.
