Lutz & Patmos

Marcia Patmos and Tina Lutz (aka design label Lutz & Patmos) are closing shop but before doing so they have kindly issued a special edition of the Carine Roitfeld Sweater in honor of the 10th anniversary. Carine originally partnered with Lutz & Patmos in the spring of 2006 to create a slim fitting cashmere crewneck with "engineered runs for ripped and pulled effect, small tubular hems, elbow patches." God, how I love this woman's mind! The sweater was offered in a tempting assortment of colors: black, aero, and silver heather for women; black, bleu marine, and silver heather for men.

The anniversary edition of the Carine Roitfeld Sweater by Lutz & Patmos is available right now through Barneys New York in black only. Note that a portion of the proceeds with be donated to Operation Smile, a charity that works to improve the medical treatment worldwide for children with facial deformities such as cleft lips and palates so do not feel guilty about indulging in the Carine Roitfeld Sweater — it helps to benefit a worthy cause. Also remember that with premade moth holes this cashmere beauty will endure.
