Valentino Garavani Arazzo Floral Wool & Cashmere-Blend Crop Sweater

Valentino Garavani Arazzo Floral Wool & Cashmere-Blend Crop Sweater. 
A rare exercise in Italian knitwear at its most demanding, it features:

Arazzo ("tapestry") construction: a centuries-old hand-weaving technique translated into knit form, producing the dense, pixelated floral pattern across every inch of the body and sleeves — each motif built stitch by stitch in the round
Wool and cashmere-blend base in deep burgundy, with multicolor intarsia roses, foliage, and botanical figures rendered in the full chromatic range of the Maison's signature florals
Contrast pink embroidery at the rounded neckline — a couture-level hand-finished detail requiring separate placement and anchoring after the body is complete
Cropped silhouette with dramatically widened short sleeves for a sculptural, almost architectural shoulder line
Open hem with a sheer underlayer and braided cord ties finished with hand-knotted tassels — an artisanal passementerie closure more common to haute couture than ready-to-wear
Refined hand-finished edges throughout

Size: XS — Fits Small
Measurements:
Shoulder to Shoulder: 45.1 cm / 17 ¾ in
Sleeve Length from Neckline: 39.4 cm / 15 ½ in
Length: 42.4 cm / 16 ¾ in

Made in Italy.

The Arazzo technique is among the most labor-intensive in Valentino's knitwear vocabulary — a piece that reads as casual but is, structurally, closer to couture than anything in a standard ready-to-wear collection. Wear it over a silk slip or high-waisted wide-leg trousers. Nothing exists twice.
