The Façade Knit Vest translates AFORMA’s architectural design language into a versatile layering piece. Its oversized unisex cut and 4-colour jacquard pattern are inspired by the repetition of arches, a motif that frames rhythm and depth in architecture. In knitwear, this becomes a surface that is bold yet understated, creating a sculptural piece designed for year-round wear.
Each Façade vest is machine-knitted and then hand-linked in Portugal, a traditional finishing method where every knitted panel is joined by hand on a linking machine. This artisanal process ensures precision, strength, and a refined finish, setting it apart from mass-produced knitwear.
Crafted from EVA Miroglio yarns (85% viscose, 15% polyester), Façade has a silky drape and breathable hand feel that makes it unexpectedly lightweight. This is not the polyester of fast fashion: the blend is engineered for performance. Viscose brings softness and fluidity, while polyester strengthens the structure, ensuring the jacquard holds its architectural form and remains resilient over time. The result is a knit that feels elevated and modern, not heavy, not stiff, and never disposable.
Designed for transition, Façade is as easy over a crisp shirt in cooler months as it is on its own during European summer evenings. The deep neckline, wide shoulders, and side splits make it a piece that adapts naturally to styling, bridging everyday utility with architectural presence.
