Crafted from a brushed blend of 20% mohair, 20% wool-blend yarn and 60% nylon yarn, this S*int Laur*nt sweater is defined by its bold Playboy motif at the centre, creating a strong graphic contrast against the otherwise understated silhouette. Soft in handle yet visually striking, the knit has a rich texture and a distinctive depth that enhances both the pattern and the overall finish.
The garment is knitted using a 2022 Cixing 7G machine with 13 yarn guides for single-sided jacquard knitting, with each piece taking approximately 150 minutes to complete. This more considered process allows for parallel, uniform knitting and a cleaner, more consistent result throughout. In contrast to garments produced at maximum speed on standard computerised flat-knit machines, the finish here is designed to maintain even stitch definition while avoiding issues such as stitch size variation, missed stitches or disruption to the pattern.
Finished with subtly distressed edges at the neckline, cuffs and hem, the design balances statement appeal with a more undone, directional feel. Striking yet versatile, it is a standout knit that brings character, texture and a distinctly Saint Laurent edge to everyday dressing.
