Who says hosiery has to be basic? For Alberta Ferretti’s collaboration with Wolford, the Italian designer defied this very assumption and created a collection of elaborate tights, bodysuits, dresses and tops. The capsule combines Wolford’s mastery of second-skin pieces with Ferretti’s soft yet sultry femininity and can only be described as a best of both worlds.

This beloved knitwear brand is coming to SSENSE
If PH5 isn’t on your radar yet, we highly recommend you do a social media deep dive asap. Its colourful aesthetic and technical approach to knitwear has made it a favourite amongst Kate Hudson, Gemma Chan, countless content creators and now Canadian megabrand, SSENSE. While the Spring 2022 collection is the first to be available through the luxury retailer, expect to see many new whimsical wares coming soon.
Sweden’s Filippa K adds the Billie Sweater to its sustainable wool initiative
In 2019, Filippa K launched the Swedish Wool Initiative, a unique capsule of organic knitwear whose wool was sourced from a small sheep farm in the designer’s home country and is a byproduct of the local meat industry. This week, the brand unveiled the fourth iteration of this project, the Billie Sweater. Like its predecessors, its colour was achieved through a traditional natural dyeing method, and only 100 will be available to purchase. Our advice? Act fast as we suspect this cozy wardrobe staple will be gone very soon.

Canadian artist Benny Bing has teamed up with Roots on a powerful jacket and hoodie in honour of Black History Month. Emblazoned on both pieces is the word “fearless,” which, according to a press release: “For Benny, this word holds power and pushes him to walk into the unknown with optimism and confidence in his work and life.” Along with these limited edition designs, Roots will be donating a percentage of its e-commerce sales to the Black Opportunity Fund and Black CAP for February.
