COULD BE THE IRON MASK OR THE GOSHA RUBCHINSKIY SWEATER

Despite some unsavory associations with a certain stand-up comedian and sitcom actor, who may or may not be currently embroiled in a well-publicized sexual assault scandal, I kind of dig this Gosha Rubchinskiy multicolor knit mix sweater. Now it could be Ssense's excellent styling or my abiding love of Der Blaue Reiter, but something draws me to this thing. It's just ugly enough to be appealing, like Birkenstocks or John C. Reilly's giant head. I think I need more ridiculous knitwear in my life. I own a grand total of two sweaters and neither of them even comes close to recalling the halcyon days of the mid 1990s, when basic cable was king and Christopher George Latore Wallace sang "living better now, Coogi sweater now".  I know it seems a tad dismissive to call this piece a "sweater", when it is clearly such a work of art, but you can probably call it whatever you want, as long as you don't call it a Cosby.
