1970s Bonnie Cashin Color Blocked Cowl Neck Wool Sweater

Bonnie Cashin's designs were always way ahead of the fashion curve, and styled with the active woman in mind. That's one of the reasons many of her pieces are hard to date and still work so well for the modern woman. This fabulous soft lambswool sweater is a vivid tangerine, color blocked in plum on the front. Long and lean, with a deep ribbed cowl neck playing off the smooth knit of the body of the sweater, it has a dropped shoulder with sleeves that are wide, straight and slightly abbreviated. A sensational piece of Cashin's work, and like most of her stuff, just as great today as it was when it was new.  Bust measures 36", hip 37", shoulder 22", sleeve 20", length 26".  Excellent condition.  $135
