LA BASED KNITWEAR LABEL 360SWEATER IS BRINGING ITS OUTRAGEOUS AND EXTRAORDINARY KNITWEAR DESIGNS TO THE UK FOR AUTUMN/WINTER 2010. SOFT VOLUME, ELEGANT DRAPING AND UPDATED SILHOUETTES STAND OUT IN A PALETTE OF RICH, SOPHISTICATED COLORS. CREATIVE DIRECTOR & DESIGNER, LESLIE GIFFORD, HAS CREATED A REFINED COLLECTION OF KNITWEAR AND ACCESSORIES SOLD TO THE FINEST BOUTIQUES AND DEPARTMENT STORES WORLDWIDE.
LESLIE TRULY BELIEVES THAT “ELEGANCE AND COMFORT SHOULD GO HAND IN HAND. I LOVE THAT YOU CAN THROW ON ANY OF OUR SWEATERS WITH A PAIR OF JEANS AND BOOTS, AND YOU’RE CHIC, YOU’RE CONFIDENT, AND YOU’RE COMFORTABLE!”
OFFERING A FRESH APPROACH TO SWEATERS, LESLIE TAKES EVERYDAY ESSENTIALS AND PUTS HER OWN SPIN ON THEM; PONCHOS HAVE A HOOD AND SHELL BUTTONS, YOUR BASIC CARDIGAN HAS A MORE UPDATED BOXIER FIT, AND SWEATERS HAVE SURPRISING, YET SUBTLE DETAILS LIKE THE NEWLY PATENTED “POCKET SOCKETS” WHICH ARE ESSENTIALLY A GLOVE BUILT INTO A SWEATER POCKET. INNOVATIVE DETAILS IN THE TEXTURES, TIES, STITCHING AND SEAMS GIVE 360SWEATER A UNIQUE LOOK COMBINING CALIFORNIA COOL WITH NEW YORK SOPHISTICATION. AFTER JUST ONE SEASON IN THE US CELEBRITIES WHO HAVE BEEN SPOTTED WEARING 360 SWEATER INCLUDE HALLE BERRY, JENNIFER GARNER AND REESE WITHERSPOON.
IN ADDITION TO THE LUXURIOUS CASHMERE AND CASHMERE BLENDS, THE COLLECTIONS ARE FULL OF GORGEOUS AND SOFT WOOL BLENDS, SUMPTUOUS SILKS, OMBRE EFFECTS, AND WELL-PRICED COTTON BLENDS. TEXTURE PLAYS A MAJOR KEY TOO WITH EXTRAORDINARY TEXTURED YARNS. HOLIDAY 2010 BOASTS A FANTASTIC LINEN GROUP PERFECT FOR RESORT SEASON WITH ITS NAUTICAL INSPIRATIONS.
