Along with his design partner and longtime friend Jennifer Wells, LINE Knitwear co-founder John Muscat has been giving fashionistas and A-list stars some of the most worn items in their wardrobe since launching the brand in 2000. These days, trendsetters like Sarah Jessica Parker, Taylor Swift, Kate Bosworth, Jessica Biel, Jennifer Garner, Cameron Diaz, Mila Kunis, Amber Heard, Oprah and Kourtney Kardashian are all fans of the Canadian knitwear brand. There’s nothing quite like an oversized LINE cardigan or slouchy sweaater to turn an otherwise casual ensemble into an instant fashion statement. The label regularly appears in massively influential magazines such as Nylon, Lucky, InStyle, Marie Claire and Teen Vogue, just to name a few. We caught up with Muscat to find out more about LINE Knitwear…
