Sweatergasm

December 8, 2009 by WendyB

I wrote about Antoni & Alison’s cool intarsia sweaters in June 2008 but I never got one. I couldn’t make a decision because they were all so cute. Spotting another intarsia piece online recently reminded me about Antoni & Alison, so I checked the website and nearly passed out. You know how I feel about trompe l’oeil! Which sweater do you love most for me? My birthday is coming up. Maybe someone will cleverly take your vote into account and buy me a nice gift. Click the pictures for more information.

    Love the trompe l’oiel effects of those sweaters. And your post title rocks too, WB!

    P.S. Francis SS ’10 promises to be a big hit!

    I seriously love each and everyone of those sweaters. I completely understand how you were unable to decide!

    i’m such a fool for A&A stuff! was kicking myself i couldn’t make it to their last show. Em… choosing just one of the above is tough! Shirt & Tye, French and Glamour Puss are my favs;)

    navy jacket, french, and clown bow are my faves, but gosh it would be sooooo hard to decide!!!

  5. Jennifer says

    December 8, 2009 at 2:40 pm

    That’s seriously a really hard decision. I started to like French, but then it changed to Navy Jacket and Shirt and Tie. Shirt and Tie is really special like you WB!

    I’m pretty sure “check clown” is my fave … but they’re ALL amazing.

    Oh GOD. They’re too much….too insanely incredibly gorgeous and I might just join you in passing out. And now I feel bad that I passed up a knitted vest with a trompe l’oeil tie the other day. But it was in a vintage shop I don’t like very much, the owner was staring at me as I looked around (as though I were a thief, or worse still….a dealer) and I decided they didn’t deserve my £20.

    I will have to save up another £170 for one of these…

    I need one if those sweaters in my life. Especially the clown ones.

    Wendy – what a fabulous post! Thank you so much for sharing! I am dying for the ‘glamour puss’ sweater!! ahh, so gorgeous, TDF!

    the clowns are all fabulous, but glamourpuss won me over!

  13. Make Do Style says

    December 8, 2009 at 3:56 pm

    For moi it would have to be Cinderella but for you surely Glamour Puss

  14. Kim Yamaguchi says

    December 8, 2009 at 4:19 pm

    WOW it’s hard to choose! I voted for the ‘navy jacket’ but if *anyone* could pull off the ‘clown bow’ it’s you.

  15. stacy says

    December 8, 2009 at 5:35 pm

    I voted for “French” — so classic, but in a very edgey way. I adore them all. I generally love intarsia pieces, but these are super cool.

  16. Annie Spandex says

    December 8, 2009 at 5:41 pm

    Those are really sweet! I think Cinderella is my favorite, and I like the Shirt & Tie one a lot too..

  17. KD says

    December 8, 2009 at 6:00 pm

    I love them all, but I think French is my favorite.

  18. Raven says

    December 8, 2009 at 6:03 pm

    For you, Glamour Puss. For me, either Shirt and Tye or French.

  19. Audi says

    December 8, 2009 at 6:06 pm

    Wow, these are amazing. My brain hurts just thinking about what a pain in the ass they would be to knit.

  20. Alicia says

    December 8, 2009 at 6:32 pm

  21. eyeliah says

    December 8, 2009 at 6:53 pm

  22. Everybody Says Don't says

    December 8, 2009 at 7:19 pm

    I think the glamour puss is most “you” xxxx

  23. deja ps says

    December 8, 2009 at 7:19 pm

    Oh la la, j’adore the French one!

  24. Lexie says

    December 8, 2009 at 7:28 pm

    For you, definitely the glamour puss! For me, the Frenchie!

  25. The Seeker says

    December 8, 2009 at 7:43 pm

  28. Rachael says

    i am so happy to see antoni and alison doing something interesting again… they were my favorites about 10 years ago, and i absolutely loved their whimsy.

  30. K-Line says

    December 8, 2009 at 9:22 pm

    OK, I chose one but I could have gone with any of them – call it “multiple sweatergasm”!

  31. Winnie says

    December 8, 2009 at 9:32 pm

    HI, my first time on your blog, found it from the Seeker’s blog.
    Love your pics, you are a really talented and beautiful young lady!
    I voted for the pearls and flower one, but it would seem that is not the vote of most other, but then, that is from a male’s point of view.

    I have a legs show running currently on my site, and everyone is welcome to enter, so if you have time, please enter a pic.

    Have a wonderful day!
    Colin.

    I adore the shirt and tie. So cute. But frankly, I would take any one of them. And if you get that little girl’s tutu to run around in. Pleasssssssssse take pics!!! ah ha ha ha

  34. Nubiasnonsense says

    I’m telling you the truth, WendyB, I thank somebody somewhere for creating the World Wide Web whenever that was because otherwise you wouldn’t have found me and I wouldn’t have visited you back which means that I wouldn’t get to go all over the place with you! You’re literally a dose of the cutest, most creative curiosity one could ever, ever hope for. Whew!

    I voted for the navy jacket, but only because I felt bound by my deep-seated desire to please you, because all of the R-O-C-K!

    WendyB, keep on making your own Anti-spam words ’cause I love Lupone!

    I LOVE Navy Jacket, but I think Waitress is your kind of cheeky. Or Glamour Puss.

  37. Deena says

    December 9, 2009 at 4:26 am

    I’m ‘gasming over the lot but shirt and tye is giving me multiple sweatergasms!

    I think the clown check suits you perfectly, especially when you factor in your love of vintage and prints! But honestly I could see every single one of these on you!

    Oh my–I am enraptured by these sweaters! I haven’t been able to stop thinking about them since I saw them chez vous a couple of days ago. Must post one chez moi–and give props to the smart woman who found them, bien sur!
