An example of one of those patchwork loose-weave knits, which Daphne notes is “more of a Vera piece.” The sisters actually never design together — they work towards a shared theme or color scheme for a given line, and then proceed separately on separate pieces. Vera, who was living in New York at the time, was the first to make the color-wheel tees; when Opening Ceremony invited her to build a line around them, she contracted the help of Daphne, who was living in Berlin. Now Daphne’s domain is color, accessories, chunky knits, and sourcing yarns while Vera works more on silk dresses, cut-and-sewn knits, and material experimentation.
