Shape-Shifting Avant-Garde Hoodies

Craig Green Delivers New Pile Knit Hoodie Designs at DSML

Progressive UK-based fashion designer Craig Green is often recognized for the ways that he challenges forms on the runway and his latest work is the new pile knit hoodie design. It is set to be exclusively available at Dover Street Market London and comes in three colorway options either lime and black, orange and black, or red and black.

It boasts a strong avant-garde design language and is entirely made from wool materials and lined with 100% cotton. The tufted hood makes up the top of the silhouette whilst it is followed by a concaved ribbed body sinched in under to create a cocoon-like shape. There are optional arm holes in a bulbous shape and opened side panels to allow wearers to explore.
