Striking black and ivory hand knit sweater from the design team of Vladimir Teriokhin, a former ballet dancer, and his creative partner, Allyson Spencer, hence "Spencer Vladimir." This sweater is made from 100% silk yarn, and although the label says it is handknit, it looks like it incorporates crocheted elements as well. This is the kind of sweater that I fall in love with: it's black and white (off-white, actually); it's casual, cozy, and a little bit slouchy; and it looks like it's fun to wear. The sweater is a pullover style with a boat neck, extra long raglan sleeves, and the zigzag pattern is retained along the hemline. The sleeves have black ties braided into the knit on the sides as an accent. The knit is slightly loose, so it could be worn "as is" in warmer weather, or with an underpinning in cold weather. Labeled size XS/S but has an oversized fit, so might also work for slightly larger sizes who prefer a less oversized look. Please refer to the measurements for the best guidance regarding actual size and compare with a similar garment that fits you. NOTE: Spencer Vladimir's incredibly creative sweaters sell for between $800 and $2500. This sweater would fall somewhere in the middle of that price range.  MEASUREMENTS - Chest is 48"  - Midriff is 48" - Length is 22.5" down center back.   CONDITION Excellent condition with no apparent flaws. Please do not rely only on the size label or estimated size to determine fit. For the best chance of a proper fit, compare the actual  measurements with those of a similar garment that fits you. *Approximate measurements taken on exterior of garments unless otherwise noted. Stretchy fabrics and knits are fully relaxed when measured. Because different monitors display colors differently, actual color might vary somewhat from the color on your monitor.  PAYMENT Please make payments for auctions and 'best offer' purchases within two days. ebay will prompt you for immediate payment for Buy It Now purchases.
