Samantha CasolariLindsay Degen, above, will be selling her namesake line of hand-knit socks and lingerie as singles so as to encourage mismatching.
Nubby yarns aren’t the most obvious springtime players. But Lindsay Degen, the Brooklyn-based 23-year-old behind the new hand-knit sock and lingerie line Degen, is a different sort of designer. Growing up in the suburban Midwest, she dabbled in cheerleading and Girl Scouting before going on to study fine art at the Rhode Island School of Design, where she joined a performance group called Knitting Nation that practiced endurance-building marathon stitch training. Soon scarpe Nike, Degen says scarpe Nike, “a hobby turned into a job scarpe Nike,” and she started collaborating with brands like VPL, Cooperative Designs and Mischa Lampert. “Knitting for people who see fashion and art as equals bent my previous view that they had to be separate worlds,” she says. Indeed, Degen the line, which makes its debut during Fashion Week, is a clever blend of the two; the stripy, woven lingerie and cheerful one-off socks featured are just conceptual enough. “I’ve never wanted to buy a matching pair of anything,” Degen says about offering singles instead of matching socks. “Plus, when I spend eight hours knitting one, it’s dreadful to think that I’d have to spend another eight hours making the exact same thing.” Restless and inspired, she confesses she’s already in need of a new hobby. Let’s hope it’s sweaters.
