INHABIT continues to pay keen attention to craftsmanship and detail reflected in the fall 2007 collection where one will discover sophisticated, unexpected pieces.
Designer Susie Cho is inspired by explorers and adventurers this season lending a feeling of rare, treasured finds in both fit and fabric to the collection.
Incorporating exceptional textile treating techniques including a boiled cashmere, cashmere terry cloth which provides texture on the outside of the piece with a cozy interior, and a cashmere/mohair yarn that is unbelievably soft and lofty.
Nomadic touches such as oversized draped hoods and cocoon like shapes as well as exaggerated, oversized bodies dominate the collection.
A fresh take on classic cardigans with an asymmetrical body that can be tied up to serve as a tunic can travel with you serving multiple purposes wherever you may roam. Another twofold piece is the turtleneck apron which can be worn alone exposing the woman’s back for night or paired with a cashmere shell for day.
Shorter bodies complement the higher waistlines seen this season and bi level hems are introduced. INHABIT pioneers the way for knitwear to be worn as outwear this season with roomy coats, hoods, and vests. “I think it is all about the sweater being worn as outerwear this season. Our super luxe sweaters are great to layer and really keep you warm†says Cho.
Chunky cashmere tweed cardigans and boiled super yak or merino pieces with subtly contrasted seams discover both masculine and powerful elements. The reversible cashmere hooded pullover offers dual wear ability and functionality while maintaining an edgy, new look for a man.
INHABIT fills a void in the market for a sophisticated collection with a designer sensibility at a reasonable price point.
INHABIT IS ABOUT A FEELING, AN ATTITUDE, RATHER THAN A TREND.
