i {heart} sweaters by Seema Sudan



Lia Molly is a sweater collection for kids that is Designed Exclusively for Anthropologie. They carry it for children until 18 months...WHAT????? Hand knitted with eye-popping threads, the droolicious details of fabulous appliqués, over sized buttons, and velvet ribbons add to the charm of each piece.

Designer: Seema Sudan
How did you become a designer?
I've been a knitter since I was nine. I followed this passion to Parsons School of Design in NYC. I've worked for many major companies as a knitwear designer and finally have launched a knitwear business of my own, liaMolly, which is named after my kids Liam and Molly. We’re based in the city that inspires me most, New Orleans.
What’s your inspiration?
Nature, art, fibers, yarns, patterns of all sorts for stitches. Coco Chanel, fashions past and present and New Orleans.
What’s your hometown?
New Orleans, LA but I am originally from Montreal.
If you had to pick a favorite design from your collection, what would it be?
The Thalia Dress because it is flattering on everyone, and you can wear it everywhere. I also like the Jacqueline Cardigan because it is so New Orleans.
What are you wearing right now?
I'm about to go to my studio on my Vespa, so aviator glasses, the Janette sweater from our winter collection, vintage jeans, and boots.
