Wear Your Sweater Today, Dear

Sometimes, we can all be a little guilty of living in our own little worlds and forget that there is a big, beautiful one out there (beyond ours).

I’m no Granny, but I am reminding you about WWF’s National Sweater Day – which is today. WWF focuses their efforts on Canada, but global fashionistas, this doesn’t mean that you can’t be a trend-setter in your own countries!

Turn down the heat. Put on a fab sweater. Give the planet a cozy bear hug.

I’ve dug through my un-digital fashion archives for the occasion, and scanned some of my favourite sweaters, from a time when there were a few more animals around (Yuppies included!).

Wild style, indeed.

Most images are scanned from my personal archives, so I am listing sources from memory (fashion things stay in my head): McQueen photo from Vogue Magazine; Vittadini, Missoni, Perry Ellis images were all ads from the 1980s and appeared in most major mags; Mimi Bizjak is from FASHION Magazine; YSL photo is likely from Harper’s Bazaar Magazine.
