Tarantula Sweaters

Rodarte Expands Mohair Sweater Line to Men With Brodarte

Brodarte: I couldn't be happier with the name of Rodarte's new menswear line of sweaters. The spindly collection of woven warming apparel looks like a wind-blown spiderweb that's hosted some pretty energetic guests; in fact, if you look at it in the right way, the sweater has resemblance to the body (and fangs) of a tarantula too.

"Opening Ceremony unveiled four of Rodarte's signature haphazard, hand-knit mohair sweaters that look like what happens when NASA scientists give drugs to spiders," Racked.com jests.

Check out the gallery for a few shots of the new Brodarte sweaters by Rodarte.
