Get K(n)itted Out With Fila Gold Label
This latest Fila Gold Label Zip Through Knit takes us back to the designer sportswear revival of the early to mid noughties when knitwear was the king of the terraces.
If we're going to talk about mid noughties knitwear it would be hard not to mention the likes of The Football Factory & Green Street. Both films were a testament to terrace fashion of the early to mid noughties with heavy knitwear from Italian sportswear brands featuring throughout. Coming in various forms from hooded to zip throughs, knitwear of the era had a certain casual-esque about it and was usually worn with slightly faded denims & bright white Stan Smiths. With inspiration from classic yachting gear, getting "decked" out in funnel necks & performance knitwear was a key look of the designer brand revival of the era. This latest Zip Through Knit from Fila Gold harks back to the designer sportswear revival & the golden era of terrace knitwear.

Originally endorsed by Tamer Hassan & Danny Dyer on the back of the release of The Business from 2005, the Gold Line marked the next chapter for Fila Vintage. Original garments from the sublabel included premium merino wool cardigans & Harrington jackets with the signature F branding ditching the traditional red, blue & white associated with B-Boys & Borg for gold & black. After a brief hiatus the Gold Line was re-introduced in 2024 with a collection of archive inspired pieces. Adding another arm to Fila's various lines & labels, the Gold Line was Fila's very own answer to a more a premium range.
