Get Your Crochet on With These Classic 80s Fila Vintage Summer Knits
Giving a nod to the classic White Line designs & timeless wiseguy style, Fila have now introduced some crochet knits just in time for the summer months.
As much as we can't get enough of the classic track tops, the Borg Elite's & the Lois cords, we're loving this whole 80s summer thing we've been championing for the last few years. With inspirations from the original playboys of the 1980s it's all about the matching sets for that ultimate "casual lounging" look. Think Stephen Graham playing cards as Tony Pro in Martin Scorsese's Irishman before the FBI put the bracelets on, or Paulie Walnuts from the Sopranos sunning himself down in Florida. Forgot the standard shorts & t-shirt rig out, we're talking classic knitwear in summer form, relaxed collars and in the case of this latest crochet stuff from Fila Vintage, some classic White Line inspiration.

It was the elitist appeal, and exclusivity, of the original White Line designs that captured the hearts of the young Casuals of the late 1970s & the early 1980s. From scouring sportswear stores to simply stealing what they could, it was the Casuals that really put the White Line on the map. With numerous White Line styles dropping throughout the golden era of wedge haircuts & Duran Duran soundtracks it was the original 'Made in Italy' silhouettes that optimised the elitist playboy appeal of the original White Line designs from Pierluigi Rolando throughout the 1970s & 1980s.
