Knitwear dominated the run way this time round. From Milly’s knit racer dresses to Thakoon’s thick ribbed sweaters, to the knit blanket-like ponchos that cascaded over models’ shoulders at Tommy Hilfiger dominated the collections this fall. Knitwear isn’t anything unusual for fall/winter collections to include in their collections but they certainly do stand out keeping the weather in mind, everybody is looking to stay rapped up in a bedspread. With that being said, Sally LaPointe showed thick cashmere-wool turtlenecks and Rebecca Taylor’s sweaters were layered over shirts and under coats. The Row put its models in long sweaters with knit midi skirts. These were a welcome sight to an audience that has been running across the city in below-freezing temperatures all week.
