Perfect time of year for it.
The weather is changing but what is in style rarely does. At least not extensively.
We can understand how being a Fashion Designer is a challenging job. Over the years, how can you create something that has not already been created? What new style can be created that has not already been designed?
Often when we see a new designer’s collection, it looks a lot like another designer’s collection.
And that’s okay since most of the styles are very desirable.
The masters of style at vogue.com enlighten, “Even if you’re no longer staying home all day wrapped up in a blanket, that doesn’t mean you can’t recreate the cozy moment. These knit dresses are just as pleasant to wear but offer an elevated finish that will bring in several compliments.”
We certainly agree.
One of the many reasons we love knit dresses is how they wonderfully display a woman’s curves. Possibly like no other fabric. Even the looser fitting knits have a sensuous appeal to them.
The team at usmagazine.com smiles, “Many sweater dresses these days tend to have a looser fit. In fact, we actually adore sizing up while buying standard knits so that we have the option to rock them as dresses.”
Rock on. Knit more.
There are two basic varieties of knit fabric: weft-knit and warp-knit fabric.
Warp-knitted fabrics tend to be resistant to runs, and are commonly used in lingerie.
Weft-knit fabrics are easier to make and more common. When cut, they will unravel (run) unless repaired.
We’re learning.
Coco Chanel‘s 1916 use of jersey in her hugely influential suits was a turning point for knitwear, which became associated with the woman.
Shortly afterwards, Jean Patou‘s cubist-inspired, color-blocked knits were the sportswear of choice.
In the 1940s came the iconic wearing of body-skimming sweaters by sex symbols like Lana Turner and Jane Russell, though the 1950s were dominated by conservative popcorn knits.
The swinging 1960s were famously manifested in Missoni‘s colorful zigzag knitwear.
This era also saw the rise both of Sonia Rykiel, dubbed the “Queen of Knitwear” for her vibrant striped sweaters and her clingy dresses, and of Kennedy-inspired preppy sweaters.
In the 1980s, knitwear emerged from the realm of sportswear to dominate high fashion; notable designs included Romeo Gigli‘s “haute-bohemian cocoon coats” and Ralph Lauren‘s floor-length cashmere turtlenecks.
Contemporary knitwear designers include Diane von Fürstenberg.

That was impressive.
We have discovered another designer who is incredibly impressive.
Ms. Lauren Parrish Walker has knit designs to add warmth to your body, style for your soul and inspiration in your heart.
We’re wearing our finest knit sweater as we walk over to her store. Please tell us about your story. At parrishla.com she smiles, “Threaded through my life is the story of my FAMILY with origins in a small North East town… mostly during the cold WINTER months, in our car, with the windows open just a crack to feel the cold air on my face, MILES DAVIS coming through the radio and my dad behind the wheel. These are my most comforting memories.
My design ethos EMBODIES how I perceive that comfort; the TEXTURE of my life’s memories, both wild and sweet. The sensuality of my musings, missteps and my WILLINGNESS to rise after each fall.
My love of clothing and passion comes from my mother, Dale. My mom wasn’t always easy — we didn’t always see eye to eye, but she was always my first, my TOUCHSTONE, my comfort. Her LOVE was fierce. As was her impeccable style and her PASSION. She had a multitude of mysteries and I still learn from her every day…how to always be TRUE to myself.
This collection is inspired from more than where I come from and the distinct and STRONG personalities that shaped me. It is my evolution and CREATIVE expression of love, imperfect but strong; tumultuous but abiding.
To SURROUND others in sweaters that create a CONNECTION to their own warmth, is an acknowledgement that life isn’t always easy, but what we WRAP around us, can always be.
I am LAUREN PARRISH WALKER. This is my passion and my gift to the world.”
What a wonderful story.
There is more.
