The sweater boasts a boxy silhouette that is then softened by fine woolen materials. At the front of the sweater is the fictional female robot and her seductive portrait adorned in a color palette of silver and blue accented further with light and dark hues. The design has anthropomorphic features where the eyes are showcased with a neon slit and she has two antennas coming out of her ears.
