Our Favorite Things

After meeting as students at the Parsons School of Art and Design, Paolina Leccese and Julian Taffel launched Leorosa in 2019. Today, the Berlin-based duo’s nostalgic, colorful knitwear—newly embellished with smocked collars and exaggerated bows in their latest collaboration with the Lebanese designer Super Yaya—has earned the approval of everyone from the artist George Condo to directors Gia Coppola and Gus Van Sant. Leccese says of their made-in-Milan cashmere and merino cardigans, “They’re classics with a twist”—as are their own daily essentials, seen below.
