| Joan Crawford |
Ok, it's not actually Vintage Novelty Sweater Day, but I think from this day forth Feb 16th should be. Inspired by this picture of Joan Crawford, and a long time lover of fashion designer Elsa Schiaparelli, whose infamous tromp l'eoil bow print sweater in 1927 changed the face of sweaters forever, I've decided to show you a collection of my favourites.

| 1930s Schiaparelli Tie Sweater from the Metropolitan Museum of Art |
Novelty sweaters come in two types:
Design knitted into the pattern
 |
| 1940s Dutch Theme Cardigan |
 |
| 1920s tromp l'oeil collar design |
 |
| 1947 phone print jumper. They suggested you could add your number to the design - not creepy at all! |
 | |
| 1950s penguins |
 |
| 1947 college sweatergirl designs |
 |
| But why would you want his name on a jumper with a bunch of other random boys names? |
Design Appliqued on:

| 1950s Saks Fifth Avenue Cardigan |
