Resort 2014: Pullover season, if ever there was one

Best pullovers of Resort 2014

I’ve been following the fashion shows for, erm, 30-some years — ever since watching Elsa Klensch on CNN Saturday mornings while other kids were watching cartoons — and I can’t ever recall a season where the humble crewneck pullover factored so prominently into collection after collection after collection. In Resort 2014, it shows up reinterpreted more ways than I can count. In knits, leathers, wovens and combinations thereof; solids, patterns and appliques; eyelets and laser-cut “lace.” The list goes on. So much inspiration around simple shapes beautifully rendered. I spent most of Sunday trying to wrangle an epic post detailing a vast array of them, but it was totally unmanageable. In the end, I had to whittle it down to this relatively small pile of images (click to enlarge). You’ll have to follow the links to see all these tops in their full glory. I hope you find something inspiring in it!

First of the best of Resort 2014: Sportmax

Sportmax Resort 2014 sweaters

The Resort 2014 images have been starting to roll in, and it is pullover mania, people. I’ll keep an eye on that developing situation, but meanwhile can we talk about these fantastic Sportmax sweaters? OK, that one on the lower left is only part sweater knit, but that just makes me want to draft a hybrid pattern for myself prrrronto.
