Killing it.

The ladies aren't the only ones enjoying some Sweater Posse gems, Thanks to designer Angela Missoni the boys are also included in some spectacular threads this fall. Here's what GQ had to say about Missoni's love for all things Sweater Posse:
"The Missoni juggernaut has produced everything from women's clothes to fragrances, home furnishings, and a budding boutique-hotel empire, but the brand is rightfully famous for its colorful, instantly identifiable patterns—and the expertly crafted sweaters on which you see them. The company launched a small men's line in 2001 and has since expanded into denim and relaxed-fit suits."

Interweb find of the Day

In this digital age, it's only fitting that textile design begin to emulate computer design. You could say they share more in common than not, and that the same limitations that occur in computer resolution occur in knitwear pattern making where there's always a grid to follow. Behold, the pixelated sweater! Available here!

Koos Van Den Akker and Bill Cosby

Koos was responsible for kick- starting the Cosby sweater trend of the 1980's. He was asked by a close mutual friend of Cosby's to design a sweater for him, according to his site, the rest is history.
"[Josephine Premice] took it to the set of the Cosby Show where Bill immediately put it on and wore it for the taping. It was an instantaneous hit. Cosby, in his incredibly generous way began giving his friends presents made by Koos left right and center and the Koos designs became a sensation".
Along with other notable companies such as the wild Australian brand Coogi, the trend rode out the rest of the 80's and early 90's and is currently experiencing a resurgence among the hipper more ironic kids out there. America being the land of kitsch, it's not surprising to see younger generations embracing their poly-blend nits with gusto these days!

"Iron Mask Or The Cosby Sweater"

This amazing print brings together two of my favorite things in life; silkscreened art and Cosby sweaters. Felix Jackson is a southern artist with quite an eye. Taking an obscure MF Doom rap lyric and putting it to good use. Lovin this print!

Pot Sweaterology

Loves it.

Tracie's WTF face.

I cannot express how much I love these two. Rich and Tracie consistently make every week more enjoyable with their web show, Pot Psychology. This episode is of particular interest to me, because as you can see, Tracie has busted out a sweater befitting a Sweater Posse shout out. Loving the look, all around! Definitely one of the funniest Pot Psychs in a while. Enjoy!
