Look at these!!

It’s a sweater, it’s a sweaterinteresting & how non-traditional to put a shawl collar on a yoked norwegian pullover like that– whoa whoa whoa, THAT IS NOT A SWEATER.

Nope. Sorry. Still not a sweater.

What. Fooled by the lusekofte or something?

Check it this one is not even a suit jacket GOTCHA!

So, this is from Junya Wantanabe’s Fall/Winter 2011 line, and my main question is, are these things knit? Since regular suit fabric is woven wool– to knit the wool instead (and most likely felt, to make the cutting less of a mess), then cut & piece it into a suit! And, in the knitting, to put traditional sweatery motifs, for the trompe l’oeil humor!

Goodness gracious that is genius!
