Meet the Knitwear Label Bella Hadid and Ella Emhoff Can’t Get Enough Of

The Ella Emhoff and Kaia Gerber-approved brand you need to know.

What have you been doing for the past year to fend off lockdown boredom? Delsy Gouw took up crocheting, a craft she learned from her mother when she was nine. Fast-forward to 2021 and the New York-based founder of crochet-label Memorial Day is loved for her distinctive, vibrant designs. On Easter weekend, supermodel Bella Hadid posted a photo of herself wearing one of Gouw’s designs at the beach, exuding Y2K energy from her plaid bucket hat to her Playboy bikini. Meanwhile, US vice-president Kamala Harris’s stepdaughter Ella Emhoff and model Kaia Gerber are fans, too — “I have no idea how Kaia found me,” Gouw explains, “but I’m super grateful.”

Knitwear has undergone a welcome renaissance this past year. We all saw Bernie Sanders’ mittens at the presidential inauguration in January, and you may have noticed a rise in woven bucket hats on your daily walks. Models are eschewing ordinary gloves for pastel mittens and 2000s-style knitted bikinis have swiftly become commonplace on Instagram.
