"When it comes to J.Crew's 1988 Rollneck Sweater - the versatile, East Coast-centric knitwear style that has been a staple in the brand's prep-adjacent offerings for nearly four decades - you're typically more likely to see descriptors like classic and heritage than transgressive or cutting edge. J.Crew is clearly trying to change that narrative, likely as part of a larger, ongoing operation to convert the mega mall brand into the hottest designer destination on the planet."
"Each rollneck offers a unique take on J.Crew's legacy and identity, ranging from Patrick Taylor's sailing-themed intarsia and nautical color palette to a minimalist installation by Eckhaus Latta that focuses on dispersed colorblocked patching. Each style is notably individual, yet still channels the instantly recognizable rollneck form factor - in other words, a perfect remix. Each sweater in the Rollneck Remix collection retails for $180 and is available to shop now."
J.Crew collaborated with five edgy New York City designers—Tanner Fletcher, Eckhaus Latta, Collina Strada, Buci, and Patrick Taylor—to reinterpret the brand’s 1988 Rollneck Sweater as the Rollneck Remix capsule. The project updates the classic east-coast knitwear silhouette with distinct designer perspectives and a more contemporary, designer-focused identity timed for NYFW. Designs range from Patrick Taylor’s sailing-themed intarsia and nautical palette to Eckhaus Latta’s minimalist, dispersed colorblocked patching, while maintaining the recognizable rollneck form. Each sweater retails for $180 and is available to purchase now. The collection represents a strategic push to position J.Crew as a fashion-forward label.
