Description: An amazing piece of fashion history! I’m a huge fan of Michael Simon’s designs, and I’m downsizing my sprawling collection of colorful sweaters since I moved into a new place with a smaller closet. The colors and textures of this sweater jacket are incredible. It’s bright and fun like a 90s beach vacation! About the designer: Michael Simon, the iconic “pioneer of the ugly sweater”, began his journey in the East Village around 1975. Initially a ballet dancer, he started making unique sweaters using leftover bright yarns from the 1950s. His hand-loomed, oversized designs quickly caught the attention of boutiques all over NYC. Featured on Fran Drescher in The Nanny, Simon's playful and artistic sweaters became a favorite of costume designer Brenda Cooper. These vibrant, one-size-fits-all pieces look fantastic paired with a solid turtleneck underneath. Quote from Michael Simon: "I started in my East Village apartment around 1975 making one sweater at a time. Everyone loved them because they were so different... What’s not to like?" Michael Simon's sweaters have graced the pages of top fashion magazines like Vogue and Glamour, solidifying his place in fashion history.
