Le Cardigan Tordu Stretch-Knit Cardigan

From Paris to Hawaii – no, we’re not quoting the riff of a cheesy pop song – French label Jacquemus debuts its Le Splash collection overseas with a runway set in O’ahu. Le Cardigan Tordu, a part of this line-up is knitted in a stretchy, ribbed fabric to a slim fit with buttoned, cut-out panels that act as a fashion-forward method of ventilation for those sunny beach days (or so we like to think). Slip it on as a summer-evening cover-up or to shield the sea breeze.

• 54% viscose, 4% elastane, 16% linen, 26% polyamide

Essentially pared back and minimalist, self-taught French designer Simon Porte Jacquemus pairs tradition and modernity with playful irreverence. Classic references meet with unexpected proportions and distinctive details, in collections that are youthful, fresh, yet with a timeless elegance.
