After having, air of nothing, paraded on the catwalks Balenciaga and Jason Wu, the mesh to the kitsch aura has managed the crazy bet to embed on the porters of the fast-fashion banners. Declined in the same nuances that made his reputation - olive green, yellow mustard or even old rose - it arouses two decades later the same mixed reactions.

And for good reason, synonymous with ungrateful pre-adolescent look for some, the chenille mesh is just like the peach skin, the cropped-top or even the crew neck one of those pieces with emotionally charged past. Anchored in an ultra-stigmatized stylistic scope, the return of this pullover deemed obsolete takes the form of a comeback loaded with naphthalene. Or when the eternal resumption of fashion begins to seriously weary us, we who display to the counter a thirty well packed.

Could this be a question of generation? To see the millenials rush on this knit with subtle glossy reflections, this hypothesis may seem quite proven. Virgins of all anti-vintage thought, young fashionable ones see these pieces that debouch us with the same enthusiasm that we had before the paw of eph of our mother or the costume in tweed of our father. A way for them to live a fantasized time and gone through the rooms of a locker room looking like treasures.

As for the adults who succumb to it, they see it as a way of reconnecting the winter with a certain form of carelessness or, on the contrary, an unexpected opportunity to rhyme nostalgia with tendency.
