# Peek-a-Boo Sweaters The Lucas Nascimento SS12 Collection Boasts Unexpected Details By Meghan Young | Published 2011-11-26 | Fashion Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lucas-nascimento-ss12 References: [stylebubble](http://www.stylebubble.co.uk/style_bubble/2011/11/feeling-the-gauge.html) & [lucasnascimento](http://www.lucasnascimento.com/) The Lucas Nascimento SS12 collection takes [traditional knitwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arty-knitwear) and turns it on its head. Instead of completely funky designs, however, this line introduces unexpected details and cuts amongst more traditional silhouettes for a more shocking contrast between the classic and the contemporary. First of all, the Lucas Nascimento SS12 collection is more cool and sophisticated than warm and comfy. Since it is not made for the winter season, however, that is understandable. But that is simply the appetizer to the rather revealing main course. The most shocking creation has to be the [cut-out sweater](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/north-seainspired-fallwinter-2025-line) that provides a unique cardi layering piece for outfits. Additionally, the Lucas Nascimento SS12 collection is rife with [jacquard patterns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atelier-solana), which give the appearance of a loose woven textile that contrasts nicely with some neat and tidy details such as buttons and thin collars. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.7/10 - Popularity: 55% | Activity: 47% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Hip Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/hipfashion) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Unexpected Details:** Opportunity for designers to incorporate unexpected details and cuts into traditional garments, creating a shocking contrast between the classic and contemporary. - **Contrasting Textures:** Potential for using contrasting textures, such as loose woven textiles with neat and tidy details, to create visually striking garments. - **Cut-out Designs:** Possibility for designers to explore cut-out designs as a unique and revealing layering piece in garments, adding an element of surprise and innovation. ### Where This Applies - **Fashion:** Fashion industry can incorporate unexpected details, contrasting textures, and cut-out designs to disrupt traditional garment designs. - **Textile:** Textile industry can innovate by developing new techniques and fabrics that allow for contrasting textures and unexpected details in garments. - **Design:** Design industry can explore and experiment with unexpected details, contrasting textures, and cut-out designs, pushing the boundaries of traditional garment design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Elevated Seasonal Knitwear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wool-knit.md) - [Comfortable Sophisticated Knit Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kerisma-knits.md) - [Experimental Fall Wardrobe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khaotique-noir.md) - [Summer-Ready Crochet Menswear](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/crochet-open-knit.md) - [Arty Knitwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/arty-knitwear.md) - [Pattern-Heavy Fashion Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/needles-new-collection.md) - [Spring-Centric Outerwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/namacheko-1.md) - [Transitional Spring Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/splendid-srping-2025.md) - [Vibrant Winter-Ready Luxe Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/studio-nicholson-6.md)
