GUIDE
Neighbour Pure
Wool Sweater
Internally, Dilawri points to the sweaters that Neighbour has been producing with a fine Scottish knitwear factory for about eight years now. “I love them because they are seam- less, have a higher neckline, and fit similar to a sweatshirt. They are everyday sweaters that are well-made and warm.”
Evan Kinori Crewneck Cardigan
Recycled Wool Charcoal Donegal
Neighbour has been stocking San Francisco–based designer Evan Kinori for several years. Known for his meticulous craftsmanship, Kinori’s pieces are made in northern California, with each garment hand-numbered to highlight the care and attention to detail in its con- struction. This season, Dilawri is particularly drawn to this recycled cashmere cardigan with a high neck clo- sure and button front. “I purchased a navy one we had last year for myself and wear it all the time,” he says. “The Donegal is a nice touch, and I like the full placket closure. It looks great with a collared shirt underneath and the top button of the cardigan unbuttoned.”
Phigvel × Lady White
Co. Cashmere Bottleneck Cardigan
Neighbour’s curation embraces craftsmanship from around the world and a perfect example is this season’s partnership be- tween Japanese brand Phigvel, known for its specialized produc- tion channels in Japan, and Los Angeles’s Lady White Co., rec- ognized for its expertise in jersey production and American sports- wear. “This zip cardigan is 100 percent cashmere,” says Dilawri. “I like that it has a zip front and a two-way zip. It’s dressy but also works well as a middle layer.”
Margaret Howell Seamless Crewneck Merino Cashmere Margaret Howell has been doing her thing since 1970, expertly taking classic pieces and infusing them with a touch of clever modernity. This made- in-the-U.K. crewneck sweater, produced by the brand each season, is a perfect example. “The merino cashmere adds texture while remaining warm and comfortable against the skin, and the seamless con- struction allows it to drape nicely without bulk or constric- tion,” explains Dilawri.
Camiel Fortgens Frankenstein
V-Neck Cashmere Blue-Grey
“This is probably my favourite sweater style. It’s not tradition- al, and I haven’t seen anything like it, but it fits perfectly with other Camiel Fortgens designs,” Dilawri says of the Amster- dam-based designer. “This season, it’s made from super soft cashmere, but it’s really all about the details and fit. Camiel is known for deconstructed and reconstructed garments. At times, the pieces feel unfinished, but the silhouette, fit, and fab- rics are always on point. I love the size and shape of the V-neck opening, the longer back length, and the slightly cropped front.”
