Impressionist Sweater

From the Spring 1987 catalogue, this 100% cotton sweater was made in Italy. “In creating this sweater we used yarn the way Monet, Sisley and Cezanne used daubs of paint: to reproduce the shimmering effect of light in the natural world. Thus, each “color” is really a palette of complimentary hues–as many as six shades in a single think-and-thing strand of all-cotton yearn. In 1872, the technique was shocking. Today, it’s subtle yet invigorating: a harmonious accompaniment to khaki or almost any solid color you pair it with.”
