This cardigan from the 1980s joins multicolor knit panels in a patched, modular construction, an approach that runs through the archive knitwear of his lines from that decade. Loud color blocking and mixed textures were constants of his work, rooted in the flamboyant Japanese aesthetic tradition he called basara.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-ak=\"facts\"\u003eCondition: Great.
