Knitwear turns sexy

Baltic designers are taking inspiration from their grandmothers for this winter’s collection. This is knitwear, though not the dowdy stuff you see at craft stalls.

For the ladies, Latvia’s Inta Dumbrava creates slinky and sometimes revealing knit tops. Dumbrava honed her knitting skills while in prison - the reason why this collection is named ‘Latvian Jail Wears’. Now Dumbrava sells her clothes at markets and via e-mail: dacija(a)gmail.com.

And for the men, Lithuanian label GP Jeans has started a cardigan revival. GP Jeans is Giedrius Paulauskas, a Lithuanian designer who creates high-end jeans, jackets and accessories exclusively for men. Check out his designs at www.giedriuspaulauskas.com
