Cruciani FW11

In the picturesque region of Umbria, known for its beautiful villages and Medieval architecture, Luca Caprai founded a small Italian knitwear company named Cruciani. The company is relatively new - only about thirty years old - but in that short period, they’ve created an impressive brand that rivals Avon Celli and Malo. Garments are made from the company’s original line of yarns, some of which are made from fibers seven times finer than human hair, and construction is incredibly well executed.

For FW11, there are some jackets and basic v-necks, as well as two roll necks - one chunky cable knit and another in an intrecciato weave. Perhaps most interesting is their crossover mock neck collar sweater, where the design only allows one of the collar’s points to open outwards.

Most of Cruciani’s pieces are prohibitively expensive, but you can often find them at Yoox for between $150 and $200. Still a bit of cash to drop on a sweater, to be sure, but for the quality and design, it would be hard to find something better.
