Prep School, Off the Syllabus: J.Crew and Eckhaus Latta Rework the Cardigan

Two very different closets are sharing a rack this fall. J.Crew, the house of the campus staple, has handed its knitwear archive to Eckhaus Latta, the label known for bending a classic until it looks new. The result treats familiar prep shapes as raw material rather than a rulebook, with an eye that reads as deliberately a little off. It is the kind of collaboration that rewards a second look at the sweater rather than a glance.
