Rowan Magazine 75 - Spring/Summer 2024

Summer silhouettes and lightweight layers are key to this collection, including tops, sweaters, cardigans and shawls. In the Botanic Gardens story which was photographed at the Sheffield Botanic Gardens in Yorkshire, the designers use creative stitches to make texture, lace, colorwork and embroidered embellishments while exploring botanical gardens, showcasing the fabrics using tonal shades of greens and neutrals, plus pops of bright florals.  Photographed in the Champagne vineyards of france, the Slip into Summer collection features modern summer knits celebrate the slip stitch technique. Even in their simplest form, slip stitches can create unique, multi-color patterns.
