Check out the two gorgeous new Rowan collections for SS22

Brighter weather is what we need now, to boost our moods and set our needles twitching, and we're super excited to welcome the first of Rowan's fabulous SS22 collections!

Georgia Farrell and Brandon Mably are the first two designers to showcase this year's Rowan designs, and we love their fabulous flair with color and the way they are inspired by such different subjects. While Georgia is thrilled by the lines and textures of modern architecture, Brandon is spellbound by combining colors, and both designers use intarsia and simple colorwork in their latest collections, whether using an easy color block technique, or a more complex geometric pattern.

Abstract, by Georgia Farrell

Georgia Farrell is always inspired by modern architecture, by the shapes, lines, textures and patterns that many of us never notice as we walk through cities and towns! This new collection, Abstract, includes ten designs that feature assymetry, color blocking and surface embellishment in perennial favorite yarns, Felted Tweed and Kidsilk Haze. The color palette is a calming collection of pastel neutrals, stone shades and bright citrus and green, perfect to transition from winter to spring and summer.

The Brandon Mably Collection SS22

Brandon Mably famously can't sit still, and his love of color is intoxicating! He says he doesn't like to put his style in a nutshell, and we're so glad, because his designs are aways so exciting and such fabulous journeys to follow. His new collection is jam packed with stunning geometric colorwork, with inspired shade combinations in sumptuous Softyak DK using monochrome themes flashed through with rich jewel tones. These sweaters and jackets are pieces you will love forever!
