Christopher Fischer Designs



The name Christopher Fischer evokes images of luxurious cashmere, timeless designs, and the highest-quality craftsmanship. The New York-based fashion house proudly brings to life all its products from start to finish — it all from starts with an idea and image of a style to be, with the selection of the finest raw cashmere fiber and the dyeing of all the season’s vibrant colors, and then through all of the intricate steps and stages of knitting a sweater to the Christopher Fischer standard. The brand — favored by celebrities including Sir Paul McCartney, Eva Longoria, John Mayer, Carolina Herrera, Gisele Bündchen, Jessica Alba, Hugh Dancy, and many more — is launching two distinctly exceptional women’s collections for the Spring 2012 season under its Orange Label and Black Label lines.

The Christopher Fischer Orange Label collection is shot with vibrant colors as well as being balanced with tonal and softer summertime surf colors. The collection has a relaxed design aesthetic, featuring a mix of fabrications, colors, and patterns that are perfect for weekend wear and everyday life. The brand’s characteristic of the moment yet ageless designs are enhanced with easy and loose fitting silhouettes, exaggerated lines, inventive color blocking, irregular embellished details, and an underlying modern, architectural theme, expertly crafted to fit a contemporary wardrobe. Some highlights from the collection are an oversized color-block tunic in cashmere/cotton, a striped boyfriend cardigan, a striking poncho with crochet detailing, and a gorgeous, relaxed-fit sleeveless top with an airbrushed multi-tonal effect.

Christopher Fischer Black Label represents feminine and more elegant sophistication in its most luxurious expression. The line features intricate, one-of-a-kind details, such as Christopher Fischer’s unique procedure which weaves copper wire through the cashmere fibers to create an understated iridescent effect. Black label focuses on meticulously detailed effects and finishes — including hand-woven patterns and crochet looks, as well as chiffon, linen, and silk layering within the cashmere pieces. The color palette is light and bright, centering on sorbet, pastel, and earthy tones. The concept of Black Label is rich and lavishly comfortable, and includes standout pieces such as a whisper-light cashmere raglan with a chiffon panel, a classic v-neck cardigan with a contrasting trim, a dazzling cotton vest with chiffon panels, and a crocheted, two-tone skirt with a zipper detail.

Renown as one of the finest purveyors of cashmere garments in the world, it is Christopher Fischer’s perfectionist approach and attention to detail, as well as his focus on hand made knitting and finishing techniques executed to the highest level, that all combine to a painstakingly thorough approach in the creation of all its designs and which set Christopher Fischer apart.

Christopher Fischer’s Orange Label and Black Label collections are available at Christopher Fischer’s New York City, Southampton, East Hampton, and Greenwich, CT boutiques, as well as its online store, and select pieces are available at fine retailers nationwide.
