I'm a bit ashamed to admit that this is the first collection I've ever seen from American designer Tess Giberson. Since I knew nothing about her - or the brand - I decided a bit of research was in order. It turns out Giberson began her career as a sweater designer for the Men's Collection at Calvin Klein; by 2005, she was the Design Director at TSE (a high-end knitwear brand).
Truthfully, I wasn't surprised by her knitwear background - the attention to detail, and overall successful combination of color and texture, were proof enough of her skills. I've been immersed in knit design for a while now, and every season it gets easier to distinguish the designers that add knit pieces as an afterthought, and the ones who truly know what they are doing. I also love how almost every look in the collection looks comfortable, and completely wearable; it's an excellent mix of function and aesthetic. It's safe to say I'll be following her collections from now on!
