Launching October 20, in celebration of the New York Knicks' season opener, the collection celebrates family, hard work, and the power of giving back.
NEW YORK, Oct. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ --Â Lingua Franca, the New York-based fashion brand known for its signature hand-embroidered cashmere, announces a new collaboration with NBA champion Jalen Brunson and his family, benefiting their nonprofit organization, Second Round Foundation. Launching on the opening night of the New York Knicks' season at Madison Square Garden, the collection brings together two New York stories united by a belief in hard work, community, and giving back. Each made-to-order cashmere sweater is hand-embroidered at Lingua Franca's Manhattan embroidery studio, located just blocks from Madison Square Garden, where the brand's Knicks sweaters are also available for purchase.Â
