Begg & Co A/W 2024. With 150 years of history, it’s one of our ‘Heritage Icons’ in our guide to the most covetable knitwear brands in the worldWhen the temperature drops and the days shorten, it can be easy to hide away inside until the sun returns.
What sets Begg & Co apart, though, is the way that the brand has evolved, bringing a distinctly contemporary approach to its knitwear, which spans top-stitched sweaters, colourful rugby shirts, space-dyed yarns, and flower-adorned cashmere jumpers, largely in the easy, oversized fits for which the brand has become known.
As Johansen says, ‘I’ve always had a love for the waste yarn – the way the colour of the random threads often clash so perfectly with the main knit. This element of the unfamiliar, strange and intriguing, is hard to consciously design. It can only really happen by chance.’ Like those traditional Arans, &Daughter knitwear is durable and insulating, but entirely modern – its cardigans, pullovers and waistcoats come in vibrant colours and have slouchy fits, resulting in styles that evoke school uniforms with a twist. Case in point, our favourite style from the brand, the ‘Ada’ crewneck cardigan, a classic lambswool cardigan with a roomy fit and chic trocus shell buttons which comes in shades from poppy red and pale blue to classic flannel grey.
Invest in: the brand’s signature plaid shirt , a truly luxurious riff on the wardrobe staple which references the label’s American roots. AvailableLuca Faloni was inspired to create his namesake brand when he moved abroad and realised how rare it was to find the kind of high-quality clothing he took for granted in his native Italy.
