Rebel Releases New Line of Knitted Niceties

Come the crisp autumn weather and winter’s brutal chill, the cosiest and most luxuriously spun pieces become genuine lifesavers - knitwear. Known and loved for their artful illustrations, Rebel Cairo’s most recent collection shifts the label’s focus from scarves to knits under the title ‘The Rebel Spectrum’.


Their custom-developed threads fuses Rebel Cairo’s signature illustrative prints with the large, abstract shapes that employ bold colour-blocking palettes, ranging from yellow to pink, black to orange. While their earlier collections were largely made up of summer items that acted as a lightweight accessory or cache maillot, ‘The Rebel Spectrum’ is a reinvention of everything Rebel Cairo buyers love about the brand reimagined for the colder season. In a collection of midi cardigans and tasselled scarves, they’ve also taken on popular iconography like snakes (not the Gucci kind) and the Italian cornicello - a single red chilli pepper meant to bring good luck.


Launched by graphic artist Dara Hassanein, Rebel Cairo represents a refreshing convergence of minimalism and vibrancy that intermingles in her designs, resulting in something understated and feminine all at once.
