The Casely-Hayford Fall/Winter 2012 knitwear collection pieces together different knit patterns into sweaters that are all their own. The collection is made in Donegal, Ireland by professional knitters, and gives off a homemade and vintage vibe.
Casely-Hayford is a father and son label that took details "from modern patchwork and American sportswear. By streamlining a traditional fair isle knit to take it out of the country and into the city." Indeed, the fair isle pattern is a winter staple, and is used in an interesting way by Casely-Hayford, only on the sleeves. The collection is perfect for the streets or the slopes.
To get your hands on some of these great designs, you can head over to Dover Street Market London & Tokyo, or Hostem & Beams.
