Knitwear specialists Tina Lutz and Marcia Patmos have expanded their margins and given us a full-blown collection for pre-spring, much to everybody’s delight. So, what we have now are complete ensembles: harem pants to go with feather light cashmere pullovers, slouchy skinnies with silk front tanks and thick knit leggings to team up with everything else.

Never the ones to fall for fads, Lutz & Patmos are staunch believers of classicism and versatility. This is evident in the ingenious design of the convertible cardigan that’s usable draped, buttoned or closed. The gauze knits mingled with silks result in pieces that are gorgeous and perennial. As for the perfect layer item, go with a butterfly cardigan with chain and ribbon trimmings. Accessories at Lutz & Patmos come in the form of lightweight scarves, hand encrusted sashes and collars that give an instant uplift to any outfit.

For the upcoming collection Lutz & Patmos team up with model Natalia Vodianova with the Natalia Vodianova 2 Way Dress ($495). At a first glance it’s literally a dress, but with a few tweaks and twitches, it morphs into a thigh-skimming funnel neck sheath. What’s very cool about this new item? From each dress purchase $50 goes to the proceeds of Vodianova’s Naked Heart Foundation …isn’t fashion best served with a conscience.
