Product Details

I’ve always loved the shape of a bird’s wing, but it’s difficult to incorporate that distinctive form into an everyday garment without verging on costume. That challenge inspired me to update a traditional raglan sweater by essentially merging it with a wrap, to create an elegant A-line silhouette with fly-away three-quarter sleeves. For the shaping, I used alternating right- and left-slanting decreases, which produce a surface texture that recalls the feather pattern of a bird’s wing. The outside raglan seams add an interesting decorative touch. The garment is loose fitting, which makes it easily adaptable to variety of sizes.
