After spending six months in China working with German knitwear company Stoll (whose New York City factory I visited a month ago under the influence of the Missoni family), Sam Leutton returned to work with Postle, a long-time friend of hers; the two had attended Central Saint Martins together. (Jenny Postle had been thrown into the spotlight when her Central Saint Martins MA show was snatched up by famous London fashion destination Browns Focus.)
The Leutton Postle line is best summed up with a quote from their website, which reads: "Their design approach freely embraces color, unusual surface texture and rich pattern to create beautifully offbeat knits for women."The placement of brights against a rich neutral background creates a beautiful and intriguing contrast, as does the mix of textures.
"It's quite 'now' in that it's playful with layers of texture," Leutton described in Dazed and Confused's December 2011 issue, "Who else is doing mental colours?"
