Hearsay combines brioche’s coziness with the moody colors Nocturne displays as it weaves throughout the sweater. This cardigan allows Nocturne to shine as it morphs and changes across the body. The two color brioche creates a glow with Brown Sugar as the background and Thin Ice as the foreground. Nightwatch forms the garter hems and button bands referencing the blues within Thin Ice whilst complementing Brown Sugar. Anyone can rock the drop sleeve silhouette. Seams stabilize brioche pieces and create a tailored finish. Artists, rock stars, influencers, and friends can sink themselves into the warm embrace of this sport weight cardigan whilst catching up on the latest hearsay.
