The grey cashmere crew neck emerges from Studio La Fetiche’s Glasgow studio as BABS, a piece that trades minimalism for something altogether more textured and playful. Across the shoulders and chest, a scattered jacquard pattern drifts in soft blue, sage green and dusty pink, each tiny motif landing with deliberate casualness against the neutral ground. The neckline becomes a gallery: a constellation of trinkets and charms gather there, tiny gold coins and translucent crystals suspended like the personal collection of someone who saves bright, fragmented memories.
The Glasgow studio, where this piece reaches its finished form, sits alongside Studio La Fetiche’s Paris base, the collective’s dual anchors in cities that have nurtured their approach to contemporary knitwear. What emerges from both ateliers carries the studio’s signature irreverence, a refusal to let good cashmere sit silent. BABS feels lived in before it leaves the needles, already assembled with the kind of intuitive adornment that comes from a designer’s hand rather than a production line.
The neckline charms distinguish the piece entirely: those small objects catching light speak to a sensibility that values the accidental over the systematic, the found over the prescribed. Each wearer will read them differently, according to their own mood and memory. It is a sweater that invites personalisation while arriving already intimate.
BABS is available online at lafetiche.com, where the full collection can be explored.
