• Product description

  This showstopping multidirectional puzzle in Loft is quintessential Norah Gaughan. Inspired by a quiet photograph of a wire fence in the Metropolitan collection, Chainlink features kite-shaped panels worked from the bottom up in ribbing and delicate cable mesh. An unusual butterfly hem creates a flattering shape over the hips. Knit in pieces and seamed, Chainlink will call on all your skills and reward you with an unforgettable garment.

  Designer: Norah Gaughan

  Collection: Winter 2015
