The sophisticated blue

Powder blue is one of the most demanding colors when it comes to getting it just right in cashmere. If the shade leans too gray, it loses its premium feel. If it becomes too saturated, it quickly looks synthetic. The blue of the early morning hours—that blue of the sea just before the sun has fully risen—lies within a narrow spectrum that many knitwear pieces miss.

The Sky Edit of the Allude High Summer 26 collection is developed precisely around this shade. It is created through the interplay of fine-knit construction, natural fiber, and artisanal precision. The color works because the cashmere is authentic: the fiber absorbs the dye evenly, the fine knit keeps the surface calm and smooth, and light is reflected rather than swallowed by a dull surface.

The Edit translates powder blue into three different constructions. The crew-neck sweater forms the foundation—fine-knit cashmere in its clearest, purest form. The gingham check is not printed, but knitted: the pattern is part of the knit structure itself. This technique is significantly more demanding than a print on woven fabric—and the reason why the check moves softly instead of falling like a shirt. The wide-leg trousers, in turn, are crafted in an open-knit style. The pointelle technique from the previous chapter reappears here in powder blue, allowing light to pass through the stitches.


Light-colored cashmere requires more attention than dark. Every detail becomes visible.
