Pieces that particularly stood out included the Intarsia knit jumpsuits that reference racing car strips. The knit pattern creates jagged line edges that appear pixelated, using traditional methods to depict modern patterns, which LS:N Global explores further in our Az-tech Design Direction.

We believe this aesthetic will appeal to the always-on-the-go, fashion-conscious New Millennials for whom there is little distinction between work and play.
