The knotted jumper

Hello from my Acne Studios knotted front jumper found thriftily in the Acne Archive AKA sample sale store, in Copenhagen. I absolutely love a knotted knit so you can imagine the eye widening situation when I (actually, it was Chris) found this. I recently got a new job so it was my "well done" present from Chris, I'm very lucky, most people would have got a card! 

I suppose this type of statement piece could be hard to style, so I wanted to show you a way that I like to wear it and also, point you in the direction of your very own knotted knitwear.

I found these wonderful ones for you, a mix of price point and one brand, Yoins, that I've never heard of but I love the marl grey colour of that one, and its under £25....



I hope you find your knotted front knitwear match!
Thank you so much for reading and have the best weekend.

Genevieve Sweeney

I absolutely have to introduce you to Genevieve Sweeney, AKA the only knitwear brand you should be wearing this A/W.
Yesterday I visited the beautiful premium British knitwear designer at her pop up store in Hackney, The Hackney Store. Genevieve has transformed the pop up shop into a beautiful space of her own for just this week. We drank coffee and I poured over (not the coffee) both current and next seasons collection. It was love.
Genevieve is such an incredible woman, talented with the most amazing vision for her brand. She goes from sketch to production and you can see every bit of her passion in the process.

We talked through yarns and colour blends and just how much work goes into each piece- to be honest I had no idea it was so technical, it's amazing what has to happen to create one beautiful piece!

There are scarfs made for A/W dreams and socks (I'm wearing mine right now) that are so soft and cosy. Mine have a sparkle fleck through them and I wore them with my Stan Smith's today- amazing combo.

We're planning an exciting collaboration next month so keep your eyes peeled!

If you do anything with your Friday this week, make it a trip to see Genevieve at:

Thank you so much for reading. Have a wonderful evening!
