* Contemporary knitwear company Qi launched in 2002 with a mission to source the next big thing in luxury yarn every season — which means that Qi’s signature luxe cashmere can be imported from Italy or harvested from as far away as Mongolia. The easy-to-wear, cozy-yet-cool sportswear pieces have been given a retro rock-girl treatment.
“I was inspired by Stevie Nicks’ ethereal personal style and the concept of being a world traveler with layering and combining textures to create a modern gypsy look,” says design director Karina Mazzilli, who studied knitwear at the Fashion Institute of Technology and previously worked for Seventh Avenue heavyweights Donna Karan and Zac Posen.
