Olympia

Designed by Claudia Q > During my adolescence, I was fascinated by the nudes of various painters. Naming this sweater was challenging, but I chose Manet’s “Olympia” for two reasons: the model’s bold gaze and the ribbon around her neck, which is central to this design. The model’s confident demeanor and control over her body resonated with me, making Olympia the perfect muse for this piece. - Claudia Find the kit [here][1] SIZES 1 (2, 3, 4, 5) (6, 7, 8, 9) Recommended ease: 2–4" / 5–10 cm of positive ease.
