Avant Toi

Mirko Ghignone is the creative director for Avant Toi cashmere and knits. Mirko founded the family owned Avant Toi in 1994. With Mirko Ghigone’s eclectic tastes and artistic sensibilities luxury cashmere has been revolutionized. This collection is pure cashmere and pure innovation. The Avant Toi mantra is to advance the production of precious cashmere and silk yarns and threads, as well as to liberate knitwear from its conservative and staid traditions. The Avant Toi collection consists of knitted wardrobe staples such as pullovers, cardigans, t-shirts and scarves that are sophisticated and unexpectedly new. Unthinkable treatments are applied to Avant Toi knits. They are painted, washed, smoked, torn – all combining to achieve a unique and precious identity. Comfort remains at the heart of these tactile treasures that push the boundaries of the artisan tradition of knitwear. DESIGNED AND CRAFTED IN ITALY, AVANT TOI IS A TRUE ORIGINAL IN EDGY AND PRECIOUS CASHMERE KNITWEAR.
