Introducing the Autumn/Winter 2015 collection

If you didn't catch the unveiling of our new collection, Archive, on Instagram on Sunday, now is your chance see it in full. As this is our tenth collection, we decided to celebrate by reprising and reworking some of our most popular and bestselling pieces. The 'Alice' cardigan is the hugely popular cocoon shape we've become known for, the chunky 'Amelia' sweater a winter wardrobe staple and the 'Grace' mohair sweater came about when Vogue commissioned us to make two pieces for a shoot last year (see the resulting editorial here). The palette of rust and grey is simply because those are two of our favourite colours for autumn/winter.

London Fashion Week knitwear round-up, part 2

Following on from yesterday's London Fashion Week knitwear round up, here's our pick of the best from day 4. Pieces by Jonathan Saunders, Mulberry, Christopher Kane and Pringle. I loved the Peter Pilotto offering so much, I couldn't pick just one. See four of their incredibly covetable knits below.

COMING SOON: the A/W 2015 Archive collection

London Fashion Week knitwear round-up

Another February, another A/W London Fashion Week. As ever there are some choice knits on the catwalks, so I've gathered together some of my favourites from days 1, 2 & 3 (with more to follow, quite possibly). 

Designers are: students at Central Saint Martins, Sibling, Lucas Nascimento, Julien Macdonald, Alice Temperley, Matthew Williamson, Preen & Vivienne Westwood

Introducing the Spring/Summer 2015 collection

We're delighted to unveil and share Hangar: our Spring/Summer 2015 collection, inspired by the early Acid House movement. In the 90s, following the decline of much of Britain’s textile industry, Acid House raves breathed creative energy into a decaying industrial landscape, which for many became an epiphany. 

We wanted to make a statement about the importance of handmade and ethically produced clothing, so took inspiration from the relationship that the Acid House movement had with these industrial spaces for our latest collection. 

All of the pieces in the Spring/Summer 2015 collection are named in tribute to some of the Amy Hall team's favourite old school house tracks, and in celebration of this, renowned house DJ Jamie Bull created a mix of tracks inspired by the collection, downloadable now on Soundcloud.

Amy Hall x Jamie Bull

With the launch of our Spring/Summer 2015 collection 'Hangar' imminent, we're excited to unveil this brilliant mix by DJ Jamie Bull. As this collection was inspired, in the main, by the Acid House movement of the late 80's and early 90's, we knew we needed a musical preamble. We're all big fans of Jamie Bull here in the studio - not a week goes by without at least one of his famous HomoElectric mixes blaring out while we're hard at work, so it seemed appropriate to ask him to provide his sonic interpretation of these S/S 2015 pieces. We're really proud of this collection and we're honoured to have Jamie create a mix especially for us. Let these sounds get you in the mood for the weekend... and if you like what you hear, check out Jamie's other mixes here.

Introducing the Autumn/Winter 2014 collection

If you haven't been following our Instagram feed over the last day or so, you may not have seen our new collection gradually appearing, image by image. We're going to share yesterday's images with you below. To catch the rest of them still coming through today, find us here.

This season we were inspired by strong, influential women throughout the world with a focus on the specific craft of knitting and crochet – for example: most of the pieces consist of knitted panels which have then been assembled using an assortment of different crochet stitches. The Boudicca coat also features a scarf panel which has been knitted using a yarn which was hand-spun especially for us by a local spinner in Dalston (Sheep of Steel) using Merino wool and sustainable soy bean fibre.

Summer knitwear, in miniature

We haven't shown at London Fashion Week this season in order to focus our energy on other projects (to be revealed...). Instead, a few lucky journalists across London will have received a miniature 'Springvale' mohair t-shirt in the mail over the last few days. Tatler's 'Front Row Fox' particularly liked his (you can see him appreciating it in the bottom image).

Here it is, with the human-sized version (worn with 'Luccombe' skirt):
