Some fine-gauge inspiration: Sonia Rykiel for H&M

In less than 10 hours, the Sonia Rykiel for H&M collection will be launched in H&M stores throughout NYC. As I walked past the brightly lit Macy's at Herald Square, I couldn't help but notice all the adorable fine-gauge knits that were displayed in the windows of the H&M store. Bold stripes and cute intarsia bows dominated the tops as well as delicate ruffles on little dresses that were to die for. The clothes combined cool London street-wear with some Harajuku whimsy (because of the bows). My favorite piece was the black sweater, which was made entirely of the loop stitch. The textured stitch reflected a subtle contrast between funky and chic -- and of course, the color black only completed the look.
