EUGENE LUMPKIN KNITWEAR

Eugene Lumpkin Knitwear was a luxurious and highly-crafted men’s ready to wear collection with pieces created through innovative knitting technologies and traditional tailoring techniques in exclusive yarns and fabrics.


FALL 1996

The Fall 96 launch was shot by Tony Duran, well known fashion and celebrity photographer, and the spirit of individuality defined the first collection. It was menswear created to touch the senses, using sumptuous cashmere, merino wool and alpaca yarns in comfortable and modern silhouettes that provided the ultimate experience in luxury sportswear. 


SPRING 1997

Redefined. In the Spring of 97’ the collection evolved and a look was established with the shirt jacket and pant, a casual alternative to a suit and tie. Innovative because it was still dressy, yet versatile and comfortable and made in stretch fabrics, in trans-seasonal weights, it was popular with young professional athletes and businessmen, who’s tastes and style were changing and preferred less traditional ways of dressing.


FALL 1998

Eugene Lumpkin made in Italy. Ease and refinement described this collection that used supple leather & suede, cotton/rayon blend yarns and merino knit and wool fabrics. The clothes are loose, easy and distinctly crafted.
