“Knitwear defines the seasonal change and gives us that excited Christmas feeling way before it’s even winter,” says Amy Sturgis, founder of ASC Global and sustainable clothing brand CINTA. “For me, a pair of trousers, ballet pumps, and a good knit is my go-to look, and I always feel less put together in summer as the fall back option is always a dress. Layering knits always makes my outfit feel more considered.”
So, we’re in agreement that autumn opens up our range of outfit choices, and when it comes to shopping this years new season knits, there’s a veritable goldmine of styles and references to choose from.
“I like to look at vintage for inspiration when designing for CINTA,” adds Sturgis. “One of the first knits I ever designed was named after my Granny Leslie as I always used to steal her cardigans for the slightly oversized fit. We have a variation of higher cut cropped knits too, but my personal favourites are less fitted with scalloped edging. I then look to colour trends for the season ahead and go from there. Something that is unique to CINTA and we make sure to incorporate each season is our scalloped edging and wave embroidery which signifies my love for nature (you’ll see that as a running theme throughout most of our collections).
But what trends have I picked up on since last winter? Undoubtedly quiet luxury, but there are also rosettes and floral details creeping in. Also bows, which I love!
We have bought back our Classics collection which still does so well, but we have also grown up with our customer and their needs. so there is also a focus on a lighter range, featuring pretty pearls and bows.”
