Bust-wire sweater in ribbed wool
Balenciaga • Fall-Winter 2017
-
For Balenciaga’s Fall 2017 collection, Demna Gvasalia hones in on a fascination with reworking – influenced more traditionally on one hand by Cristobál’s archival imagery, and more experimentally on the other by auto parts.
For this fitted turtleneck in wool rib-knit, the bust is threaded with an underwire, perhaps taking after wired backrests on car seats which similarly are also crafted in knit and meant for support. The result somewhat resembles seaming on seat covers – a bit of humor with underlying functionality.
