Alex Top

This top relies on a dense, high-stretch modal jersey that clings to the torso while the neckline relies on precise, horizontal ruching to create a structured drape. By pulling the fabric across the collarbone and leaving one shoulder bare, it creates an asymmetric silhouette that feels like a nod to 90s minimalism. The tension in the gathering is the main event here, turning a basic long-sleeve knit into a piece with intentional architecture.

Safety Rating: Poor

Analysis: The garment is primarily composed of modal, a chemically processed semi-synthetic that often requires toxic solvents like carbon disulfide during production. The inclusion of 7.5% spandex further reduces breathability and introduces petroleum-based synthetic fibers directly against the skin.
