1305 Cable V-Neck Vest
WEB EXCLUSIVE

Italian design isn't like any other. Somehow Italians can take a perfectly straightforward sportswear shape (a vest, say) and endow it with classic elements in a way never seen before. Here is a particularly beautiful vest with an unusually valuable quality. If you are well-endowed (and the size range allows for this), and don a good foundation garment, you will look slimmer wearing this piece. Why? Because your bosom will be positioned slightly above the main cable motif, which of course draws attention to itself. The result is more of a 2-D effect than 3-D; your front will look a little flatter. It's flattering regardless, of course. Yarn is DK weight.
