【Description】

This is an 80s 90s vintage COLOURS by Alexander Julian cotton knit in purple, made in the USA.

Alexander Julian, a leading American designer and five-time Coty Award winner. His "COLOURS" line, launched in the late 1970s, as the name suggests, was characterized by its unwavering commitment to color and its unique textile designs that were playful while based on traditional styles, which colored the fashion scene at the time.
This piece is a rare "MADE IN THE USA" product from the 80s to 90s, which can be said to be the purest expression of the brand's identity, and the striking border pattern of black and purple, which fully demonstrates Julian's sense of color, has an overwhelming presence.

The material is luxuriously 100% cotton, which offers a smooth feel and good breathability, allowing you to wear it without stress, even if you don't like the itchiness of wool. The moderately thick knit fabric combines the toughness of cotton with a soft drape, and you can also enjoy the unique texture that develops over time as you wear and wash it, making it a vintage piece. The raglan sleeves, a major design feature, not only make the shoulder line look beautiful but also create a relaxed silhouette reminiscent of the sports culture of the time. In addition, the careful knitting at the raglan seams, the sturdy ribbing at the neckline, cuffs, and hem, and other details show the quality and robust manufacturing of the American-made product.

The colorful logo mark on the tag is a detail that symbolizes the "harmony of colors" created by Julian, who was called the magician of color, and is an iconic point that stimulates the sensibilities of vintage clothing lovers. Please experience this timeless masterpiece knit, which is filled with the philosophy of a historical designer.
