I adore A/W – mostly because it means I can pretty much live in leathers and chunky knits for months on end without a questioning glance. I’m a real sucker for a good knit – which is why I’m totally in love with MochMess – a Glasgow knitwear collaboration between Laura Mochan and Karen Mess. Bold chunky designs in raspberries, oranges and golds. Knitted chains are prominent throughout the designs as well as layering and braids throughout. Working with merino wool, cotton and jersey the girls make colourful graphic designs including sweaters, vests and my favourite – skirts. I’m totally in love with the peach and orange high waisted skirt (a nice use of contrasting colours and the chain like plaids are adorable) . There is a real focus on textiles throughout their designs, working with creating bold shapes through their one off designs.
Mochmess are priced between £14 (for knitted headbands) and £120 (knitted vest tops) and are available on ASOS. From what I’ve seen from the girls I like. I love a good chunky knit and can’t wait to see where they are going to take this.
You can sort yourself with some sweet MochMess goodies on their ASOS marketplace.
