The task was quite clear: Create a favourite sweater! To do this, we had to consider TWO things:
1. Cut:
An awesome parkour sweater has to prove itself at home as well as when moving! The oversized cut we decided on is inspired by flying squirrels and completely escalates the flow factor when moving* - not only visually, but also haptically. Unfortunately, it's so comfy that you won't want to take it off even after training. Sorry mom!
2. Design:
When it came to the design, we were not too shy for anything. The elaborate motif is a five-colour print ($$$) and includes the black textile as the sixth color in the negative spaces. On the chest is a classy shimmering matttma embroidery that picks up on the dark green-blue of the city and gives the sweater the finishing touch.
And the motif itself? Where else are urban structures appreciated as much as in parkour? Perhaps in painting and architecture... the motif is a bit of all of them.
All in all, we can say: hopefully the summer will be really cold, so that it always remains spring-like sweater weather. Yay!
*Disclaimer: The sweater only acts as a flow enhancer. That means it only enhances what is already there ;)
