1980s Krizia Red Wool Angora Lucite Star Beads Sweater
About the Item
Krizia’s co-founder and designer, Mariuccia Mandella, loved bold colors and designs. Known for designing sweaters with enormous animals, the 1980s were a perfect era for her nervy eclecticism. This sweater explores a powerful brand of femininity through a crimson red wool/angora blend. The neckline opens up with a slight scoop, while dropped sleeves drape gracefully over the shoulders. The fullness of the upper sleeves and shoulder area taper down into closely fit rib-knit cuffs. The upper bodice is also roomy, fitting loosely before reducing down into a fabulously wide rib-knit waist band. Hand attached red Lucite star beads shine randomly over the surface of the sweater, adding a realm of the spectacular to this 1980s era sweater. Mandella, who lived and worked amidst the fashion scene in Milan, was frequently described as a designer who did not take herself or fashion too seriously. However, her designs exhibit a clear focus on comfort, craft, and style. That she was able to parlay this ability into an effortless persona is praiseworthy in itself. As Bernadine Morris of the New York Times said, Krizia’s 1982 line is, “…Filled with wit and whimsy, it had the proper lighthearted touch that people have come to expect…, “ (March 23, 1982).

- Gianni Versace Colorblock Sweater Vest, 1980sBy Gianni VersaceLocated in Boca Raton, FLPossibly one of the most well-known designers of the 20th century, Versace approached fashion with a particular eclectic edge. Inspired by art and a strong urge to question and redefine the world around, the often-subversive stylings played in his favor. Despite this aesthetic, this 1980s sweater is a departure from his usual style. A black and crème checkerboard knit pattern with squares of neon yellow, wisteria, and orange throughout make this sweater almost a foretelling of 90s style all while paying homage to the passed 70s. Having a slightly oversized silhouette. And a defined border around the armholes, a deep, narrow V-neckline draws the eye elongating the torso down to the thick ribbed finish.
