Move Over for Marlova

Say "sweater" and what comes to mind? If it's a bulky, boxy, pilly, itchy top of sorts then you haven't met Marlova. Soyun Shin's line of luxe sweaters are like butter. The cashmere is the absolute snuggliest thing against your skin and her draped designs conjure utter gratitude for avant garde warmth. When you've slipped into Marlova on a chilly sweater day the only thing brought to mind will be visions of sugar plum fairies dancing...in cashmere.
