Quant
These eye-catching socks are inspired by the bold monochrome fashions of the 1960s, and are the first in a trilogy of sock patterns from Nathan Taylor, all referencing the fashions of 20th-century decades. “With these socks, think Mary Quant, and the space-age geometry of the moon landing era!” says Nathan. He has used an unusual way of working his socks that combines elements of top-down and toe-up methods, plus a brand-new heel construction which will “hug your foot brilliantly, and look fantastic!” according to Nathan.
