White + Warren x Jackyblue
White + Warren’s Closer Knit | December 2022
To celebrate White + Warren’s 25th anniversary, we invited artist Jackyblue to create a new cashmere capsule with inspiration drawn from artistic expression and the emotions that art evokes. The limited-edition styles are true collector’s items you’ll love and wear forever.
“It only felt natural to work with an artist like Jackyblue whose artwork invokes such emotion through her use of vibrant color and shape with her cutouts and collages,” says Bari Shore, our VP of Product.

The capsule features White + Warren’s signature silhouettes, such as the crewneck, sweatshirt, and cardigan—and even includes a scarf. Each piece is drawn directly from Jackyblue’s artwork—flowers, hearts, stars and words come together to create the eye-catching motifs. The collaboration builds on White + Warren’s and Jackyblue’s shared aesthetic vision, a mutual love for color and a penchant for self-expression.
“The ‘Love Me Forever’ cardigan was a saying on Jacky’s artwork, but it also speaks to the fact that the cardigan can live in your wardrobe season after season,” adds Shore.
To create the capsule, Jackyblue created initial collages by hand that were then reinterpreted by the White + Warren design team as intarsia knits. "I painted and sourced paper, then I started cutting shapes and drawing ideas,” says the artist.
To round out the collection, Jackyblue lends her talent to our 25th Anniversary Sweatshirt. Crafted from traceable cashmere, it depicts our unofficial mascot—the goat—in addition to our founding year.
