Knitwear at Victoria's Secret

Get the look of a luxurious hand knitted sweater, in only the amount of time it takes to ship to you. Now, I am an advocate of knitting your own garment of beauty, but if you just can't take the time right now, during the start of the holiday season, then why not buy one?













Find these sweaters, and many more intricate designs at Victoria's Secret. Click over to their website, and type in "sweater" in the search box.

Autumnal Knits by Diesel

One of my favorite fashion labels is Diesel. They are best know for their denim, and in my opinion, shoes. However I love its contemporary, yet rugged utilitarian approach.

How to Wear Lace, according to Times Online

Times Online recently published an article about how to wear one of the most sought after trends of the season, lace. Even though it is a "trend" now, it has always been in fashion design, and in style.

Ditu Knitwear



Layla Abramowitz understands fashion, and the direction it is heading (or needs to be). She is the genius designer behind the exquisite knitwear label, Ditu. On the Ditu website, you can view a slide show with some of the latest designs, read about the theme of this collection, get detailed information about Abramowitz's pieces, among many other awe filled features. Ditu will make you fall in love with knitwear all over again, and again, and again...
"Structured knits are somehow very organic, like skin or an exoskeleton, made up of small cellular structures. There's something exciting and volatile about combining nature with technology." - Layla Abramowitz


The designs featured above are from the "Towers of Babel" Fall 2008 collection.

Rodarte Hand Knits

Source for image above: Just Jared

On the cover of the upcoming month of Vogue Magazine, Rachel Weisz is wearing a gorgeous hand knitted dress by high fashion label Rodarte. It is a openwork piece with a sort of deconstructed feel, in gorgeous rich colors.
This is the dress featured on the cover of Vogue Magazine, October 2008 issue.

I love how fresh this design is, from the Fall 2008 Ready to Wear Rodarte collection.


This one is gorgeous because it looks "painted" on.

This design is mod-gothic in my opinion ;) The tights leave just enough to the imagination, and give the designs the perfect artistic touch, leading the eye length wise down the form. Stunning.

Soak: Modern Fiber Wash


Soak is perfect for hand knitted garments, crocheted pieces, and hand sewn designs. It is great because while using this product, it causes less agitation while washing fibers that tend to felt quickly. Soak also works gloriously on fine and delicate panties, keeping them fresh and clean. It is also amazing on bikinis and swimwear. One of my favorite fragrances is Flora.

How it works: Pour a little bit of Soak into cool water, and then simply soak your garment for about 15 minutes. You do not have to rinse to get a better effect. You can even use it in regular and HE washing machines. Learn more at www.soakwash.com
