| // LINES \\ | collection

The | // LINES \\ | collection is full of textures that draw the eye in, up, around, through -- like the best architectural spaces, these sweaters give us much to contemplate, while still inviting us to live in them comfortably. In that spirit, we’ve named them each after a contemporary woman architect: Zaha Hadid, Selasi Setufe, Kazuyo Sejima, and Emma Miloyo.

The rib panels of the Setufe sweater begin midway up the body, and increase from the sides toward the center. The effect is dramatic and reminiscent of a flying buttress, drawing the eye constantly upward. The alpaca content of the yarn keeps the fabric soft and drapey, and the ribs open and clear.
