It is the negative spaces swirling within that define the form and describe the movement of this elegant coat of sweeping proportions. Glimpses of light and surrounding colors come and go, framed at all times by concentric circles of black. A narrow collar and trim lapels flow into the gently shaped torso and softly billowing back. The sumptuous aran weight blend of royal alpaca and merino provides the crisp stitch definition that makes this study in contrasts sing. Go ahead, strike a pose and create your own memorable silhouette in the sun.
