Reminiscent of the work of French abstract artist François Morellet, the front and back of this top are each cleverly worked starting from the center block and working in the round out to the edges. The ribbed neckline and shoulder details beautifully accentuate the curves of the upper body without distracting from the garment’s bold linework.
