Angelo Litrico (Italy) 70s, Tweed Yarn, Garter Stitch, Brutalist SUNDAZED & OUTSIDE SOCIETY S.O.S. | sundazed.io/sos ...The sweater by Angelo Litrico is less a garment than a piece of knit-based architectural infrastructure—an artifact of brutalist textile design executed with precision, restraint, and tectonic weight. Forged in stranded, multidirectional garter stitch panels, the piece eschews surface embellishment in favor of structural logic, using yarn tension, gauge shift, and directional displacement as tools of spatial modulation. Its palette—peat moss, spiced tobacco, stone grey, and asphalt marl—resonates not chromatically but geologically, echoing sedimentary layering, mineral density, and the tonal register of worn topography. Each tonal field is not printed but built—constructed through compression, released through expansion—resulting in a sweater that doesn’t merely clothe but encases. The garment’s core composition speaks fluently in the grammar of textile engineering, not fashion. Slubbed, minimally twisted yarns give the jumper a tweedy rawness—less soft than assertively textured—foregrounding fiber as content, not embellishment. Pattern is not applied but embedded; rhythm emerges from panel behavior, from seam tension, from the optic result of knit planes converging and resisting each other. The result is a garment that operates beyond style—one that holds volume, tension, and weight with a compositional authority rarely found in mass-market knitwear.
