ZOE_LOOP_SWEATER
60,00 kr.
ZOE_LOOP_SWEATER is my contribution to the Isager Archives 2 collection, which is inspired by Marianne Isager’s iconic designs from the 80s and 90s. The sweater draws from two of her classic models: Kelim, where the graphic zigzag pattern in knit and purl stitches for the basis, and Drops, whose characteristic pintucks (form raised distinctive lines) give the design a unique expression.
At the beginning of the design process, I exclusively took the Kelim model as my starting point and worked with the texture in combination with colored stripes – in line with the original. After lots of experimenting with color combinations and swatches, it became clear to me that I wanted the graphic zigzag pattern to stand out more, and to calm down the rest of the style. This led me to integrate the characteristic pintucks from Drops instead of the colored stripes, which made the design more subtle and balanced, and allowed the texture to really come into its own.
The silhouette is created with reference to the 90s sweatshirt: relaxed and slightly boxy with a low shoulder seam, slightly cropped at the front and softly curved at the back. The sleeves narrow towards the wrist and are finished with a ribbed hem. The result is a design that combines nostalgia with contemporary simplicity.
