Michael Simon Vintage 1990s Sweater Cardigan Knit Linen Rayon Button-up Taupe

It is an art to wear piece by Michael Simon. The year is 1977, and Michael Simon is a struggling ballet dancer living in a studio in the East Village of New York City. To make ends meet Michael takes a job working a handloom knitting machine to produce leggings for his fellow ballet dancers. Soon he buys his own handloom machine and decides to branch out and make sweaters. The results were phenomenal; the buyers loved his sweaters. Soon everyone from Henri Bendel to Charivari and all the trendy boutiques in NYC were buying Michael’s sweater. As growth continued Michael hired a band of knitters and sewers and moved to a leased space in the garment district. Michaels designs have graced the covers of Women’s Wear Daily and been featured in almost every fashion magazine including Vogue, Elle, In Style and Glamour. Size tag is 1 S/M ?
