Ulla Johnson Vivienne Long-Sleeve Cardigan in Nature Abhors a Vacuum
Vivienne Long-Sleeve Cardigan in Nature Abhors a Vacuum
Ulla Johnson's Vivienne Cardigan transforms Helen Frankenthaler's 1973 painting Nature Abhors a Vacuum into an expressive everyday knit. Sweeps of green, ochre, coral, pink and deep burgundy move across the cardigan in broad painterly blocks, while the V-neckline and clean button front keep the silhouette relaxed and uncomplicated. Available in Australia online and in-store at Riada Concept in Woollahra, Sydney.
The Ulla Johnson Vivienne Cardigan brings colour to simple wardrobe staples without feeling overly precious. Worn with blue denim, it creates an especially chic everyday look for lunches, gallery visits and relaxed dinners; paired with tailored trousers, the same knit feels more polished. It can also be worn with the coordinating Inez Satin Pencil Skirt for a bolder head-to-toe interpretation of Frankenthaler's artwork.
