Fashion weeks are in their full bloom right now and we can have a sneak peek into what designers have come up with for spring-summer 2016 season. Here are my favorite knits that appeared on different runways.

Interesting textures, slouchy shapes and embellishment is what seems to be "in" right now in sweater design. First one that caught my attention is by Trussardi. I love the color and sparkly details. It's not the most practical sweater, I guess, but I've been dreaming to work with beads in my knitting and the embellishment of this sweater is very intriguing. I am not sure about the neckline though, it seems way too deep and slouchy to me.

Next one is by Public School. A mix of different textures, colors and stitch patterns. If you look closely you will notice stockinette stitch, lace and cables. I love its slouchy shape, but to me it looks like cables got lost and can be hardly seen on the grey background.One more sweater is by Thakoon. I fell in love with its stitch diversity! Though if I decided to knit something like that I would make it with long sleeves and longer. I always feel uncomfortable in crop sweaters.

A gorgeous crochet piece by Delpozo that just stole my heart! Wouldn't change a thing about it. It is really difficult to make a whole piece covered in crochet flowers that doesn't look too much and tacky, but this design looks very balanced.

And I saved my favorite one for dessert. A crochet dress with a stunning graphic pattern and a playful fringe on the edge by Edun. I would definitely love to make something like that, not sure about the fringe though... I never had a chance to wear one :) But overall the design is so inspiring!
