The most poetic  jacquard pattern is definitely the one seen on Dior's sweaters, featuring Renaissance damsels on swings amongst elegant foliage. The winter knits from  JW Anderson have a decidedly different  impact, the image of a burning house, unveiling the unconventional spirit of the British designer.

Geometric patterns are all the rage for Fall Winter 2020 2021, as seen at Fendi and Prada that revisit the same motif in different ways: while the brand designed by Silvia Venturini looks to 60s and 70s wallpaper, with a circle motif in retro nuances,  Mrs Miuccia’s sweaters reinterpret scandi style as seen through a magnifying lenses, creating multicolored kaleidoscopic patterns.

Among the brands that chose to experiment with printed knits,  Emporio Armani stands out for its original marble effect emblazoned on the soft mohair; the same type of contrast was seen in the Fall Winter 2020 2021 collection from Hermès, featuring  sculptural elements in leather stitched to form Tetris-like patches.

This season’s men’s knitwear has in store for us a more dramatic twist with the embroidered pieces: the cable knit sweater from Loewe is scattered with large crystals across the neck, the shoulders, the sleeves and the waistline, resulting in a truly amazing  bejeweled piece; at Dolce&Gabbana men’s winter knits replace the statement T-shirt and with the words FATTO A MANO (handmade) embroidered on the mélange surface, becomes the ultimate emblem of knitwear.
