About
ALL Knitwear is a small, vertically integrated knitwear label created by Annie Larson. The slow-growing, idiosyncratic collection of handmade sweaters and hats is an ongoing study of color and pattern realized in a series of simple shapes. Operating on a made-to-order basis, Larson knits each piece in her studio before shipping to customers all over the world. Her work is also carried by select retailers in Auckland, London, Macau, Melbourne, Minneapolis, New York, San Francisco, Shanghai, and Sydney.
Annie was born in 1983 (Seoul) and grew up in rural Wisconsin. She lived in Minneapolis for several years, where she attended the University of Minnesota for apparel design and later went on to work for Target Corporation, designing clothing for juniors and men. She purchased her first knitting machine in 2009 and is considered to be self-taught. In 2010, ALL Knitwear was established in a Minneapolis storefront apartment where the first days of making sweaters were situated next door to a puppet theater and beneath good friends. Annie moved the company to New York in 2011, settling into a studio in Brooklyn.
