V Neck Sweater Appraisal

Vintage Geometric Knit Wool V-Neck Sweater

This garment is a long-sleeved, black wool-blend knit sweater featuring a prominent V-neckline. The primary aesthetic feature consists of large, abstract geometric rectangular and chevron-like shapes in a contrasting metallic magenta or fuchsia pink. These decorative elements appear to be integrated into the knit using an intarsia or jacquard technique, creating a textured, shimmering effect against the matte black base. The sweater lacks visible buttons or closures, indicating a pullover style. The construction suggests a medium-weight knit with ribbed detailing likely present at the cuffs and hem, though somewhat obscured by the draping. The silhouette is slightly oversized, characteristic of late 1980s or early 1990s fashion. No visible maker’s marks, labels, or tags are shown, making specific designer identification difficult without internal inspection. The condition seems excellent with no visible pilling, snags, or fading in the metallic threads. The craftsmanship is of high quality, evidenced by the clean edges of the geometric patterns and the consistent tension of the knit. The item is displayed on a mannequin with a decorative statement necklace, emphasizing its potential as a high-fashion evening or avant-garde piece.
