For Feminas

Learning to knit and crochet are two activities that wed love to check off our bucket list.  We’ve heard crocheting  is super relaxing and we figure we can save a few bucks by knitting our own scarves and mittens come winte.  However since we’ve been known to procrastinate when it comes to hobbies (we still have that bag of beads sitting untouched in our sock drawer from when we tried to take up jewelry making), we’re turning to designers like Emilio Pucci, Anna Sui, Canadas own LINE Knitwear and Marthe Aime for inspiration on how to wear crochet knits properly.  These crafty designers broke out their knitting needles for Spring/Summer 2011 and did the manual labour on our behalf.

You probably know androgynous 19-year-old beauty Andrej Pejic, by now. Since by now, he has been in what is numbered as countless fashion editorials. He walked in both Gaultiers Paris mens and womens shows, finishing off the womens show in the Gaultier wedding dress. He and with Karolina Kurkova appeared together in Gaultiers Spring ads. Then he moved on to Marc Jacobs ads. And he goes on and on. He is one gorgeous boy. And one gorgeous girl. And he sort of humorously is promoting himself as a great deal in the recession, as he is booking both menswear and womenswear consistently. He is really charming, funny, and, fascinating.
