Oversized Knitwear Collections

The Ready-Made by Borre Debut is Perfect for Winter

— November 19, 2011 — Fashion
When you think about dressing warmly for winter, one of the first things that comes to mind is knitwear and big, cozy jackets, and the Ready-Made by Borre debut collection combines the best of both those worlds.

The collection is brainchild of 25-year-old Paris-based freelance designer Borre Akkersdijk. The designer, who is an alumni of the Design Academy of Eindhoven, as well as FIT NYC, had his first Paris fashion show, called the 'First Cycle' last month, and depicted the story of clothing, from the yarn to the show.

The Ready-Made by Borre debut collection features knitwear for both men and women that puts shame to the word "oversized." These Snuggie-like pieces may just be the remedy to your winter blues.
