Degen Is Down With Something

What was Lindsay Degen’s inspiration for her Fall 2013 collection? Initial research revealed her usual knitted and crocheted silhouette of crop tops or tunics over leggings were this season embellished with colorful yarn nubs, twigs, pods and jagged strands. Field interviews provided additional data as to the source material for these peculiar and specific decorations, further indicated by the show’s title, “The Doctor,” and the assorted garment names; “Rare Strain Pants,” “Germ Shorts,” “Virus Sweater Dress,” “Platelet T,” and my favorite: “Yuck Sweater.”

Degen – Owning “Crafty” Like A Sexy Sexy Boss

Amid a scattering of tent shaped totems, some reaching for the ceiling of the Industria loft space, Lindsay Degen’s androgynous boys and girls bounded about in her colorful knitwear and platform Converse high tops, like a merry band of urban jesters. The elfin RISD and Central St. Martins-trained designer was disarmingly enthusiastic about her collection, which has doubled in size and gender since her last outing. Understandable, given the arduous row-by-row nature of her craft, and the arithmetic skill it takes to create the patterns.

Lyn and Christina Krämer

On a windy early summer evening, we came to the financial capital of Switzerland, on the shores of picturesque Lake Zurich, ever with the Alps in the background. The new swimwear, lingerie, and knitwear collections of the Swiss labels Lyn and Christina Krämer were presented in a tandem show at the city’s 19th century women’s baths, the Frauenbadi, down on the river Limat, which divides historic downtown Zurich.
