"SELFIE" SWEATER by ANDREW YATES
Handle with care to preserve its texture and shape. Hand wash cold and lay flat to dry. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron. Delicate dry clean if needed. Wash inside out and reshape while damp.
The Selfie Sweater is a 032c phenomenon: a viral emblem of belonging and a staple across the community. For Curated Editions, it has become a shared canvas. Selected artists and knitters have been invited to reinterpret the piece within their own practice, resulting in one-of-a-kind collector’s pieces.
Andrew Yates reworks the iconic 032c Selfie Sweater with an experimental, hand-knitted approach. Each row, stitch, and thread is combined intuitively, allowing the sweater to take shape as a sculptural process instead of a fixed design.
Working with found yarns, Andrew mixes materials to create a new yarn with a mouliné appearance. Dropped stitch laddering and hanging threads introduce a slightly distressed texture, while the 032c logo appears in its classic red—partially unreadable, with a raw, punk energy. The texture recalls the static of old television screens from the 1990s, referencing a time before social media.
