Lambswool is wool obtained from a young sheep's first shearing, producing fine, soft fibres with a naturally springy handle. It is warm and breathable and is commonly used for knitwear, coats and other cold-weather garments.

Cable knit is a knitted construction featuring raised, twisted or braided motifs created by crossing stitches. The cables form a distinctly three-dimensional surface and are usually set against a flatter knitted background. It is particularly common in substantial sweaters and traditional knitwear.

Founded in Milan by Elio Fiorucci in 1967, Fiorucci became known for bringing together fashion, art, music and popular culture. Its playful visual language includes bold graphics, colourful prints, denim and the iconic cherub motif. The brand played an important role in making fashion more expressive and accessible, developing a global cultural identity that extended well beyond traditional Italian fashion.
