Designer Knitwear is the love of many a fashion designer for the creativity they can bring into the structure of the finished garment.  For this to be created in the softness of Cashmere, is an added bonus.

Pringle of Scotland introduced it’s new range in Milan this week … but instead of the old fashioned but long lasting cashmere classic garments, Clare Waight Keller, knitwear designer, had other garments in mind.

Is this the future of cashmere?

We can only hope so because of the potential of future business growth in this area of design.  This is definitely a fashion trend which could have a very long way to go.
