INSIGHT
Adrienne Vittadini launched her sportswear brand in 1979, reinventing knitwear as a viable sportswear category, providing consumers with fresh, feminine styling appropriate for both the office and more casual settings. Her design technique emphasized rich textiles and the use of luxurious, textured yarns to evoke a sense of causal ease and sophistication. Her design philosophy: “If a design is truly elegant, classic and pure, it will remain so forever.”
