Looking around, it's hard not to notice that mohair—once seen as outdated and reserved for autumn and winter—has made a stunning comeback. This soft, lustrous material has shed its old-fashioned image, now available in vibrant colors and reimagined through the creative vision of top designers. From high-end fashion houses to mass-market brands, mohair is once again a global favorite, making waves in the latest seasonal collections.
Mohair, also known as Angora, originates from the region of Ankara in Turkey. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, it was exported to South Africa’s Cape of Good Hope and Texas in the U.S. The fiber resembles sheep’s wool but has a silky sheen, is resistant to shrinking, and has a smooth surface that easily absorbs dye, resulting in rich, vivid colors. Today, in South Africa—the world’s largest producer—mohair has reached record prices as it experiences a major revival.
This season, no matter your opinion on mohair, you can’t ignore its presence. From luxury labels to affordable fashion, mohair elements are appearing in almost every autumn and winter collection. New York designer 3.1 Phillip Lim introduced horizontal striped mohair leggings, while Dior created a bold plaid mohair corset jacket. Canadian designer Rita Liefhebber showcased a hand-knitted mohair pullover and long skirt, and Hermès unveiled layered mohair skirts with fringed details.
On luxury retail site Net-a-Porter.com, searching for "mohair" brings up over ninety products, proving its popularity. Mohair first gained fame in the 1960s, fueled by the classic jazz song “Mohair Sam,†which helped make it a cultural phenomenon. By the 1990s, Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain wore a fluffy mohair cardigan, bringing it into the grunge scene. Fast forward to today, and Tom Ford has repeatedly shown his love for the fabric: in 2008, he designed a suit for Daniel Craig in *Quantum of Solace* using cashmere blended with mohair, and in 2009, a stylish young man in *A Single Man* wore a cream-colored mohair sweater that became an instant icon.
If you're a vintage lover, dig through the back of your closet or thrift stores—you might just find a rare “love mother brand†mohair sweater. These pieces often carry more character than anything you can buy new. So why wait? Embrace the warmth and style of a mohair sweater and stay cozy this season. It's not just a trend—it's a timeless statement.
