“Knitwear is a foundation to my summer wardrobe and something we wanted to realize in a clear and concise way,” Centenera said in a statement. “I love knitwear because it travels well, it always looks polished, it’s flexible and adaptable, so [it] can be worn on different body shapes, and in different ways.”
“Stretch introduces new techniques for Wardrobe.NYC; we wanted a matte, dry textured knit that performs, and really holds you in. It took time to develop the right balance between holding shape, making the wearer feel secure, and being comfortable to wear,“ Goot added.
