Head of design Massimo Nicosia is marking Pringle’s 200th anniversary with a series of collections that embrace the house codes in offbeat ways. For fall, he worked with knits — chunky, twisted or spliced with fur — and even carved mink into classic patterns.
The designer fused tradition with innovation, sending out low-slung cable-knit skirts that resembled kilts and twisting chunkier versions of those cables into a long sweater vest and a dramatic aubergine cape. Chunky black sweaters were dusted with bits of fur while black mink was cut into an argyle pattern on a sweater. Texture played a big role, too, as Nicosia used a raised wavy jacquard on coats and slipped small devoré panels into the necklines and backs of dresses.
