The French designer was the king of luxurious knits.
Back in high school, when my love for fashion was blossoming, I would spend hours on Style.com educating myself on the latest runways and designers. I studied all of this like it was an important school assignment—often skipping my actual homework. My hometown of Nipissing, Canada, is hardly a fashion capital, so I took great interest in what was happening on the scene over in Europe. The clothes in London, Milan, and Paris all seemed so glamorous and luxurious.
They were extremely soft, and they were made with double-ply yarn and an intarsia technique, where knitters from Scotland would sew individual panels and then ensemble each sweater by hand. Pellat-Finet’s sweaters could cost upwards of $2,000—a staggering amount back then . But they warranted the price tag: The designer only made a couple thousand styles a year. They were a real status item, and very much outside the budget of a 16-year-old like myself. But that just made me covet them more.
