Wake Knit Top
Cult Gaia - $228
This piece functions as a study in negative space, using a dense, matte knit to frame the torso with an aggressive, open-side silhouette. The high mock neck anchors the garment while the wide back strap pulls the fabric away from the ribs, creating a sharp architectural contrast against the skin. It captures that signature Cult Gaia tension between solid, sculptural form and the exposure of the body.
Safety Rating: Lowest
Analysis: The garment is composed of a 60/40 blend of viscose and nylon. Viscose processing often involves toxic solvents like carbon disulfide, while the high nylon content (a petroleum-derived synthetic) significantly reduces breathability and contributes to microplastic shedding.
