Looking at a pile of offcut yarn in his mother\u2019s studio, Alejandra Alonso Rojas\u2019s son, Alonso, then about four years old, asked two pertinent questions: \u201cMommy, what are you making with these?\u201d and \u201cWill you make me something?\u201d It was an aha moment for the designer. Realizing that the pile of yarn would only grow over time, she developed a line of locally made\u2014hand-knit, in fact\u2014cashmere sweaters for children aged 18 months to 6 years. These come in three styles\u2014a button-front cardigan with patch pockets, a crewneck, and a raglan-sleeve pullover with a button close at the left shoulder\u2014in colors that range from assertive brights (Klein blue) to classic neutrals. \u201cI love these silhouettes,\u201d she said. \u201cThey aren\u2019t too complicated. I sometimes feel the material, the color. Less is more.\u201d<\/p>\n

The line\u2014which will be sold through the designer\u2019s physical and online boutiques starting this Thursday\u2014is an extension of the brand\u2019s overall approach to responsible design. Because the Alonso collection is made using excess and development yarn, as well as unused main-collection buttons, the offering is limited edition, but it will be ongoing: As more material becomes available, more sweaters will be made.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The best part? The Alonso collection is kid tested, with its namesake taking a lead in how it was presented. \u201cWhen I started working with Alonso on how we should shoot these,\u201d Rojas explains, \u201che was like, \u2018Well, I want to be in the campaign, but I don\u2019t want to be alone. Let\u2019s make a list of friends, and let\u2019s bring toys, a guitar, and my soccer ball.\u2019\u201d Rojas herself styled the 21 nears-and-dears who gathered for the photo session in her studio. \u201cIt was a very intense day,\u201d she said, \u201cbut we had a really good time.\u201d<\/p>\n
