Rare Carol Christian Poell Spring/Summer 2006 Medieval Knit, constructed from 100% ramie in a dense black open-knit structure. The elongated silhouette features a rounded ribbed neckline, extended sleeves with narrow, almost glove-like cuffs, and a highly textured surface formed by irregular, open-loop stitches. The back reveals a more open construction across the shoulders, contrasting with the tighter-knit body and creating subtle variations in transparency. Raw-looking edges and the irregularity of the knit give the piece an intentionally unfinished, almost primitive character, while the elongated proportions evoke medieval undergarments reinterpreted through Poell’s experimental approach to material and form.
