Oversized Knitted Silk Yak Hair Jacket Ensemble

1990s · 1980s · German

This avant-garde knitted jacket features an extremely oversized, bat-wing silhouette with dramatically wide sleeves that extend horizontally from the body. The construction combines multiple knitted textures and weights, creating distinct panels of varying gauge and density. The main body appears to be a medium-weight knit in taupe, while the front panel shows vertical striping in cream and brown tones. The garment demonstrates sophisticated knitting techniques with seamless construction and varied stitch patterns. The collar area features a contrasting ribbed texture, and the overall form creates a cocoon-like envelope around the wearer. This piece exemplifies 1980s experimental fashion design, where traditional tailoring was abandoned for sculptural, architectural approaches to garment construction using innovative textile techniques.
