In Knit to Win it

Iben Høj Clothing

Do you want to destroy your sweaters?

Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

Hold that thought — at least until you see Iben Høj’s delicate creations. The Danish knitwear designer produced pieces for Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, and Marni before striking out on her own. Usually hard to get your hands on, her latest collection of diaphanous tops, tanks, and dresses just made its way stateside.

It’s a handful of exquisite investment pieces: Crotcheted yoke collars turn simple pullovers into statement pieces, intricate spiderweb-like insets turn up the heat on floaty tanks, and a cut-out string-tie top drapes beautifully from the neck.

Prepared to geek out over incredible craftsmanship and detailing?

You’ll probably come undone.
