This season, the designers abandoned their beloved cut-out knitwear, stamping argyle patterns across penny loafers and creamy zip-up jackets in a new articulation of their signature motif. The whole thing was something of a full-circle moment for Burt – who studied womenswear at university – making the brand’s venture into dressmaking just as confident as its menswear proposal. As with Peter Do and Simone Rocha, though, who bolstered their co-ed offerings for SS23, plenty of these pieces could be shared and swapped between wardrobes: just how far these lines will cross remains to be seen.
