With Autumn swiftly making its presence felt, now seems the perfect time to introduce emerging knitwear accessories line de*nada who have just launched a new website to showcase their Autumn Winter ’09 collection.
“De*Nada is the vision of its founder, Virginia Blanca Arrisueño, who in spring 2005 sought to blend contemporary styles with ethnic elements to offer stylish yet high-quality merchandise. Inspired by the culture and the traditions of her Peruvian heritage, Arrisueño continually works alongside skilled artisans in Peru to create De*Nada’s growing collection.”
The new collection includes more than a dozen new designs for scarves, gloves and hats sold at selected retailers in the USA, and worldwide. The handmade products will also soon be available to order online.
For this collection, “It’s all about texture and layering,” said De*Nada’s
founder and lead designer Virginia Arrisueño. Using the traditional
methods of crocheting, knitting and braiding inspired by the culture and
the traditions of her Peruvian heritage, Arrisueño offers “exceptional
detail in each of these pieces.”
Arrisueño also wanted to “reinvent how scarves can be worn” by
incorporating versatile and innovative styles to her pieces.
Key items include: cowls, which can be draped around the neck or worn as
hood; eternal scarves, which are loose and lightweight, like a necklace,
and can be worn with or as jewellery; and spiral scarves; which can be worn
long or else shortened, when wrapped once or twice around the neck and
pulled through a loop.
The colour palette for this collection ranges from black, grey and white through to violet, olive green and beige.
