Description: A bold expression of sculptural knitwear, this 1988 sweater by Claude Montana captures the designer’s signature architectural approach to form and texture.
Rendered in a vivid, saturated red wool, the sweater features a striking interplay of smooth knit and pronounced cable detailing. Thick, dimensional cable panels cascade from the shoulders and wrap around the upper arms, creating a powerful, almost armor-like silhouette—an iconic Montana design element that emphasizes structure and strength. The body remains sleek and fitted, balanced by a classic crew neckline and ribbed cuffs and hem. Dramatic yet wearable, this piece exemplifies late-1980s Claude Montana at his most innovative—where knitwear becomes both garment and statement.
