• Product description

  The feminine textured shell is radically reimagined with color-blocked inserts for a slimming and strikingly modern couture look. Designer Michele Wang writes, “While taking a patternmaking class, I became interested in the idea of princess seams in knits. Princess seams can end up at the shoulder or curve into the armhole. Because knits can sometimes be bulky at the seams, I moved the princess seam over toward the sides a bit and made the curve into the armhole less exaggerated for a more subtle effect.” Professional details ensure this polished piece will hold a special place in your wardrobe.

  Designer: Michele Wang

  Collection: Winter 2014
