Okay ladies, start your engines: in the next coming months your mission is to be first to get to whichever high street place does the best knock-off of this striped sweater by Gucci.
Don’t bother looking for the real thing, it’s completely sold out everywhere. Martha Ward and Jess Cartner-Morley will be the only British citizens to own now – everyone else will be wearing theirs in, fuck I don’t know: Gstaad? The chillier parts of Hong Kong? Monaco on a breezy day? And even if it wasn’t sold out, it probably costs about £800, so just forget it.
But a rainbow striped sweater is probably the easiest thing in the whole world for any high street chain to copy and they will. There’s nothing around now, just sale tat and dreary neutrals, but it will arrive soon and you will have to quickly buy it and wear it like mad before it becomes Everywhere and Over.
This sweater will be the SS16’s equivalent of the perfect fairisle knit. I do like a challenge for the New Year. The game is afoot!
Nice! I like it.
Noooooo! You’d look like Geoffrey, the guy who was in charge of Bungo, George and Zippy. Esther, you’re far too young to remember Rainbow. Ask Giles!
of course I remember Rainbow!! good lord. but I’m glad I give the impression of being that young… and looking like Geoffrey off Rainbow is absolutely the idea xxx
Love it!

Have been waiting 4 months for this to arrive on the high street. Beginning to think it will never happen. Should have bought the original when I had the chance from Selfridges . It was only a mere £600 (haha).
Bea NO. it is not normal to spend £600 on a sweater. they’ll come in, do not worry .they’ll be EVERYWHERE. the trick is not to go too soon, wait for the really good copy.
Gap, I’ll bet good money on it!
Just found one on the H&M US site and ordered 2 sizes (live in Chicago) – product No. 18-4693. Fingers crossed!! (Striped sweater – dark blue striped). I like the dolmain sleeves!

Oh. Yeah. *heart eyes*
I like this one. Not full on rainbow, but good enough. And cashmere to boot.
