One of my very favorite is Pico Vela, a high-end knitwear
company founded by Nicole Alfieri. Nicole is no stranger to the fashion industry;
before launching her own label, this Parsons School of Design graduate, has
worked with national and international brands (I am very partial to the lovely
tops and exquisite dresses she designed for PUA Naturally but more on that later).
Venturing into the knitting world was a natural
move for this talented artist with her minimalistic approach and unfussy esthetic.
The same sensibility she brought to designing her ethereal tops she now applies
to her knit line.
Calling Pico Vela’s creations mere sweaters is
not doing them justice. Not only are they beautifully crafted (knit on hand
machines by a collective of artists in the US
I don’t know about you, but I lust for one of her
cocoon jackets (my love of cardigans is well documented ...) and for a boxy sweater from the
Fall/Winter collection.
Pico Vela designs can be found at these fine retailers and boutiques.
Prices range from $200 - $400
For wholesale inquiries please contact Nicole through her website
