OBJECT STUDY

A long open-front cardigan in deadened black, structured through material contrast rather than tailoring. The body falls in a wide A-line sweep — jersey draping loosely from a ribbed yoke that spans the full shoulder back. The shawl collar collapses forward in accumulated fabric folds, unsecured. Across both front panels, strips of glossy faux-leather ribbon are anchored at intervals into the matte jersey ground, their free edges curling away from the surface — a tactile disruption that reads as neither appliqué nor trim but something between suture and scarification. The ribbons vary in angle and density, concentrated toward the lower front quarters. Ribbed knit cuffs and a matching hem band ground the silhouette at its extremities, providing structural contrast to the fluid mid-body.
