"SAINT LAURENT PARIS" 2015 Cable-knit wool crewneck sweater

From SAINT LAURENT PARIS, which has elevated the tension of rock and the aesthetics of refined black to an elegant level, we introduce a piece that has established a universal knitting archive.

This masterpiece features a medium-weight wool cable knit that emerges as a quiet three-dimensional presence.

First and foremost, the impressive aspect is the rhythm of the vertical cable pattern, which, despite being a traditional design, is well-organized in line thickness and spacing, avoiding sweetness and establishing a stoic shadow, which is its charm.

The crew neck is designed with a balanced fit that is not too tight, allowing the depth of the material and the three-dimensionality of the knitting to stand out naturally without unnecessary emphasis around the neck.

Furthermore, this item is labeled XL, which naturally creates a silhouette that maintains the sharpness symbolized by the Ed period, while also skillfully incorporating the relaxed feel unique to knits.

The ribbing on the sleeves and hem is not overly tight, so the drape created when worn enhances the shadow of the cable knit, giving it an air that goes beyond just basic.

Made of 100% wool labeled LANA, it has a dense brushed feel that is immediately recognizable upon touch, balancing softness and warmth, with the black color not appearing too subdued, and the uneven knitting pattern absorbing light to create depth.

This black texture design is Saint Laurent's specialty, speaking not through color but through shadow and light.

Regarding the era, since the main label is marked SAINT LAURENT PARIS, it cannot be from before 2012, and additionally, the care label's upper row clearly states UP53 2015 00129, indicating the year, making it highly credible that this item is from 2015.

Furthermore, since this era coincides with Ed Skrein's tenure, the reinterpretation of French bourgeoisie he advocated can be seen as the archive that reflects his vision with the highest purity, which adds unique value to this knit.

Styling-wise, pairing it with neat slacks or minimal denim, and finishing with leather shoes to tighten the silhouette, makes the shadow of the cable knit stand out in an urban way.

As another suggestion, it is also recommended to insert it as an inner layer under long coats or tailored jackets, creating depth through the surface texture alone, without relying on decorations to complete the mood.

Definitely take this opportunity.
