Flipping through an old issue of Purple magazine on Friday, I was riveted by this page immediately upon sight. British designer Clare Tough is responsible for the rainbow open knit next-to-nothings and accompanying blankety sweater. Perfect for getting cozy on the sand as the sun sets or bringing along for a road trip to nowhere in particular. There's something so strangely sexy about knits as the first layer on your skin, no?

I got scared for a second and thought I clicked on the wrong site! Hahah maybe it was her facial expression.. but I do love knits! Just hate the wind that gets through the holes sometimes
the knitted short shorts are too cute!
Lovely knit and I loke those pants too. Now If only I could knit...Mom, could you take a look at this...
Beautiful knits, thank you for posting. But I really really love the fringy/floppy sleeve bolero thingy ..That is so nice :D

This sweater is heaven
Is a monkey? is very nice!

I love knits like that! They totally remind me of my godmother who actually has a bunch of blankets with those same kinds of patterns.
Absolutely! I've always thought so!
I looove the chunky sweater. I want to ask my grandma to make me one, but whenever I say that to my boyfriend he tries to accuse me of supporting sweatshops. EYE ROLL.
i call it interesting-but slowly converting....the model's expression is freaking me out....m
Cozy grandma knitting chic. I ♥ it.

Cool knits, but the model looks like she's posessed...
It's beautiful =)
Yay I love knitwear. I also love her name haha. Such a contrast! :D
Ah it totally has that vintage bohemian vibe you rock so well. I kind of love the smeared eye makeup, too.
Lovely colors on the knits!
Stupendous colors!! the bikini top is my favorite
Loveeee this photo so much!
Very sexy! Really like that bikini top.

I love it, the colours are amaing! British designers are amazing (although, I may be biased being British).

What a beautiful jumper, it seems almost so trampy and so impractical that makes it perfect. I love rediscovering all my favourite editorials and designers in old magazines.

There's something so strangely sexy about knits as the first layer on your skin, no?
more itchy than sexy, unless my sexy you mean pulling off the sweater and undies because of the itch?!
mmm no, silk is so much sexier
I love the knitted pants! So cute!.x
sweater-underpants? icky, yeast infection central unless you wear something under them.
pretty cool, mate (:
Hey you were mentioned in May's British Vogue. I'll scan it and email it to you. It says that you are the Cyber Queen of Vintage.
yeah it's clearly genius.
Her hair is great, too
Can't wait till mine is this length.. allllmost there

agree. always have loved knits and crochet as their own pieces.

that model is a little intimidating? haha. i do love the idea of multicolored knitwear thrown over a plain black swimsuit (mmmmwithcutoutsithink)
LOVE it. Such art, and sooo sexy! XO
gorgeous knit...this girl resembles khloe kardashian, I think. With lighter hair
hey rumi, not sure if this link will work for you, but this girl has a ridiculously similar plaid poncho like yours. i thought that was kinda funny.

I love the image, and the idea is so good, but wearing knits against your skin is so uncomfortable! I wish I could pull it off =[
This is excellent. Knitwear is the ultimate. I love the peculiar mix of skimpiness and warmth.
Rumi, I'd be so grateful if you'd take a look at my blog. I'm a childlike twenty year old from London with a passion for tea from teapots, charming underwear, beautiful music and unfairly expensive sportswear. You can find me at:

Very best,

Um... my mother made my brother and i matching bedspreads that looked JUST like this and I had to give them to goodwill 2 years ago.
Honestly, I couldn't imagine wearing this outfit, although it looks like a lot people love it. I would just feel like I was wearing a bedspread. All those holes will keep it from being warm.
(Should I mention she made little purses like this as b-day party favors back in 3rd grade, too? Too bad, she'd make a bundle selling them, now!!)
A - freaking - mazing!!! love it.
I have a family heirloom blanket crocheted by my great-great-grandmother that looks SO similiar to this! I'd fashion it into some sort of jumper if it wasn't such family sacrilege...
crochet and knitting...one of my favorite things to do. and what beautiful things you can make with the array of colors you can use. this outfit...i just want to lounge in! what art. ps... keep your eyes out for a new knit bikini line by talamichelle...beautiful and magical!
Ooh, I love it! Wicked. x)
cool style

but but but.. it's CROCHET!! NOT KNITS! they are totally different!
It's crochet.
Not knitting.
As a fashion designer and textile artist I am offended.
Pay attention, people!
wowwww
crochet or knit, it's just wonderful.
and i like how your clothes are often ripped up and destroyed.
