I have become interested in beaded knits and have noticed the
trend on the runways of brands like Balenciaga and Marc Jacobs. For certain brands, like Oscar de la Renta,
beaded and embroidered knits are a staple from season to season. However,
recently the runways seem to be overflowing with more experimental beaded
knits.
I went to Bergdorf Goodman today to see some of these knits
in person. One of my favorites was the Marc Jacobs sweater that I tried on
(pictured). The sequins were transparent and they were piled up to create
opacity in a gradient style.
I will be shopping for more beaded knits in my wardrobe.
Great design is made by contrasting styles and materials. The formality of beading combined with the
casual feel of a knit is exciting and intriguing.
