>> The weather is flip-flopping about, undecided between spring and summer. Enter the non-wooly looking, unexpected placement of Merino wool in spring summer collections, as exemplified by House of Holland’s wave-fuelled pieces. Their presence is prompted in part by pirate radio waves, the rooted beginnings of Mike Skinner’s breakthrough album Original Pirate Material (which titled Holland’s SS18 collection) and also by surfer’s waves as seen in the seaside slacker silhouettes. The primary takeaway though is a wool Prince of Wales check that marks a collaboration with The Woolmark Company that doesn’t actually look much like wool at all. It’s been plasticised, accented by white patent and plastered with pin-up patches (designed by Elizabeth Ilsley) and gothic buzzwords proclaiming “Dreamy” or “Power”. Paired with ultra thin peace sign cut-out knits, it’s a Woolmark collab that lightens the load off of the retail buzzword of “trans-seasonal dressing”. ~~~Bring on the wave~~~

Susie, This knitwear is the way of the future, don’t you think?
We need to look at more ways to use merino wool as it is one of the most sustainable materials available today. I must say though, I am still completely and utterly obsessed with cashmere. Have been for years. In my recent post, I share devastating news surrounding Ralph Lauren’s Collection Label in Australia.
Love Suzi x
Lovely
I am trying to understand whether its summer or winter collection. Well seems both.
I really like the hoodie, looks very nice.
I always find your blog super inspirational, really enjoyed reading this post. Thanks for the share.
