Traditional style of Fair Isle, located between Shetland and Orkney islands, off Scotland has become the winter's most desirable styles.
The conventional pattern of styling has caught the attention of fashionistas.
London Boutiques are flooded with colourful fine-knit scarves, beanies, fingerless gloves and leg or wrist warmers patterned with star, cross and diamond motifs of traditional knits.
Dolce & Gabbana collection included ski bunnies in cashmere and fur in their autumn/winter show. A stroke of Fair Isle patterns can be found on comfortable short-sleeved sweaters, colourful blue white pom-pom hats and long scarves in red and white.
Designers like Betty Jackson created Empire-line knitted Fair Isle dresses in beige and navy, while Margaret Howell paired traditional scoop-neck tank tops or cardigans with full knee-length needle cord or velvet skirts and blouses.
The beautiful Hermès collection of Jean-Paul Gaultier presented Fair Isle knit beanie hats, snoods trimmed with fur and chunky-knit cashmere cardigans and coats.
These traditionally patterned knits are nicely absorbed in the urban setting.
