What makes our Italian cashmere so special? Not only do we insist on using the best yarn out there, but each season we develop completely custom colors that you'll find only at J.Crew (we work hand in hand with a centuries-old Italian mill to ensure that each shade has just the right depth, saturation and brightness). Take this button-shoulder sweater: Inspired by the bright botanicals he used to look at in Time Life books as a child, our women's designer recast photographs from NYC's flower market in a large-scale neon intarsia. (Intarsia knit means the design is knit into the sweater instead of on top-a much more difficult process, but it's the key to getting the crisp motif.)
