From Rick Owens’ Autumn-Winter 2010/11 collection, GLEAM, this sweater embodies the season’s dark romantic minimalism. Constructed with a soft cashmere/alpaca blend and finished with 10% silk, the sweater has a lightweight yet insulating body that contrasts with its elongated, ribbed sleeves. The mix of fibers gives the knit a subtle sheen and delicate handfeel, in keeping with the refined yet austere mood of the GLEAM collection.
The GLEAM collection was notable for its stark palette, elongated tailoring, and subtle surface treatments that gave garments a muted luster, an evolution of Owens’ Gothic futurism into a softer, more refined direction. This sweater is a quintessential example: understated yet meticulously crafted, with the interplay of natural fibers lending both comfort and architectural form.
