Hammersmith is named after and inspired by First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis’s childhood home, Hammersmith Farm, in Newport, RI. The waterside estate was beloved by John F. Kennedy and his family during his presidential tenure, often signing documents and holding meetings in his sailing clothes before running out of the office to spend the rest of the day on the water. Rhode Island is my own childhood home; I went sailing around Newport with my family last summer, glimpsing the estate from the water, a time which inspired this heavily cabled, New Englander seafaring sweater made for chilly days on sea or land.
