Bordhi’s Blossom Top socks render the still-life impressionistically in two colorways of “Fortissima Socka” from the Skacel Collection. Off-white/blue twist represents the “vase,” which is knit upward with a garter-stitch toe, a foot shaped by sole-side increases and a ribbed ankle. The cuff of “flowers” blooms in a cherry red feather-and-fan scheme.
