The inspiration for this sweater was drawn from golf wear. It features the Argyle pattern of intersecting diagonal lines on top of solid diamonds in a checkerboard arrangement. The sequins and beads that adorn the entire sweater add a touch of opulence to the piece.Benny Ong is an established Singapore-born designer based in London.
