FASHION

ECOLOGIC
Knit what comes naturally: designs that are easy on the eyes, to work in fibers that go easy on the earth.

VK INTRODUCES REBECCA TAYLOR
Her starlet-bright clothing regularly graces the red carpet. Now it graces our pages, too. Plus: A designer Q&A

FLORAL FIXATION
Cultivated and color-saturated, a veritable garden of knit tops blooms with botanic charm.

THE WHITE WAY
It’s a nice day for a lace wedding. Rapturous openwork fills our knitter’s trousseau and warms a bride’s brimming heart.

URBAN OUTFITTERS
In the mad dash of the workday, mod looks in black and white cut through the bray matter, taking you to the top.

SHORE LEAVE
Feminine reflections of the deep blue sea: Marooned on a fantasy isle, this is the wardrobe we’d want to take along.
