This vest defies its own roots.
It begins with the silhouette of a cardigan—a single-breasted design, familiar, modest, almost nostalgic. But here, the sleeves are gone, the form is leaner, and something has shifted.
Two narrow stripes run along the neckline and sides—echoes of athletic gear, of motion, of structure. A reference to sport. To energy. To action. But linen is not a team player. And lace never runs.
That’s where it gets interesting.
The body is made not of solid knit but of alternating vertical lines in stockinette and lace. One defines. The other opens. Together, they breathe. The result is neither sporty nor delicate—and somehow both.
This isn’t a layering piece for warmth, and it doesn’t flirt with softness. It speaks in rhythm: line, break, line, break. It lets the air in. It lets the eye linger. It transforms function into composition.
The linen is dry, refined, almost strict. The silhouette is precise. The pocket is intentional. And the whole structure moves with the confidence of a contradiction embraced.
This vest does not choose between softness and strength, nostalgia and novelty, sport and stillness. It lives between them—and pulses.
