Autumn/Winter 2022
‘Knit ‘Pon Knit’ – Autumn/Winter 2022, AGR
For Autumn/Winter 2022, founder of AGR, Alicia Robinson, explores the notion of optical illusions. A chromatic offering from the brand, the collection pushes the boundaries of possibilities with knitwear in the most luxurious of ways. Continuing its innovative approach, this season, the brand’s signatures are taken to experimental heights with references to trompe l’oeil, sixteenth‑century Italian ‘Bargello’ needlepoints, and retro illustrated knitting books from the ’70s. Featuring an array of pieces that cleverly overlay print with knit techniques – ranging from pixelated cable-knit on top of Jacquard, to printing patterns on denim and nylon. As well, the spray knit designs from Autumn/Winter ’21 have been further developed, digitised, and placed onto cotton and wool. In keeping with AGR’s visual language, colours are eye-catching, as always, with snippets of deeper tones. As well as the brand’s signature lime green, neon magenta, and yellows, shades of blues, across the spectrum, are seen throughout. Certain pieces, such as the Jacquard hoodie, feature as much as eight colours, and when pulled apart reveal a darker underside giving depth to the vibrant palette. Staying true to the brand’s core DNA, nods to the ’90s remain present with the introduction of new styles and accessories. Faux-fur pieces in delectable shades have been added in the form of zip-up jackets, as well as cropped diamanté baby T-shirts that outline the brand’s iconic logo. For all shapes and sizes, form-fitting dresses and tops flatteringly cling to the body in the brightest of psychedelic gradients, perfect for a wild night out.
