FILATO FOLCO (Italy) 70s Vintage , Intarsia, Tuck Stitch, Folk Art SUNDAZED & OUTSIDE SOCIETY S.O.S. | sundazed.io/sos ...This cedar-toned pullover renders a material thesis that bridges domestic tactility and sculptural modulation, articulated through a tuck-stitch surface that forms a rhythmic relief—textile as topography, memory, and encoded intent. Its cedar base, punctuated by an ochre and red geometric floral intarsia, rejects figurative realism in favor of symbolic cadence—pattern not as illustration but as structure. The result is a garment that resists narrative literalism and seasonal declaration, aligning instead with a lineage of designers for whom knitwear functions as spatial proposition rather than decorative layer. The Bermuda collar, a formal deviation from the expected ribbed crew or roll neck, recalibrates the silhouette into an interstice between 1950s athleticwear and pastoral work uniform, acting as compositional anchor and historical pivot. This duality channels Bonnie Cashin’s modular garment logic—where ease-driven pragmatism and sculptural clarity converge—as well as Gino Charles’s mid-century textile narrative construction, in which knit and print operate not as embellishments but as orchestrated systems of symbolic form. Structurally, this pullover privileges tactile intelligence and compositional control over trend-responsive silhouette shifts.
