"Traditional" shades of charcoal and ash grey, navy, burgundy and ever- green take on new prominence, as dramatic backgrounds or as design highlights. Lilac, magenta, violet, lupine blue and orange-gold are used as well as silvery salt and pepper, purple haze, and cool sapphire. In sweaters, a group of easy, over- sized cardigans, cardigan vests and pullovers in pure lambswool is in- troduced. Bulky popcorn stitch knits and oversized houndstooth motifs give a year-round appeal to heavyweight cotton crewnecks. Alexander Julian creates variations on traditional motifs, experimenting with scale, adding innovative touches, recasting patterns in an abstract fashion. The front and back of a deep teal wool crewneck are punctuated with a series of irregular graphs. A cream sweater vest improvises on Amish quilt patterns.
