Just a few weeks ago, Dazed Fashion did some very serious reporting on Paul Mescal’s Gladiator II press tour wardrobe, specifically his lovely little cardigans. For those of you who saw those shrunken knits and decided to give the look a try, you’re in luck. Not only can you get in on the teeny cardi trend, but you can do it in the very knits that Mr Mescal himself was wearing.
Today (December 10), fashion resale platform Vinted has announced that it was teaming up with Mescal for a sale of his Gladiator wares. Up for grabs is a custom silk knit from B.W. Marks, a crimson version of an av vattev lace-up cardigan Mescal wore on The One Show, a black and white striped piece from Extreme Cashmere, and a grey drawstring knit from HERD. You’ll also have one more chance to grab the baby blue Hades Wool cardigan that Mescal wore on the Australian leg of the tour, as the indie retailer subsequently sold out of the piece after skyrocketing demand.
As well as all the knitwear, you’ll also be able to bag some other Mescal bits, like a pair of black leather Jimmy Choo boots, an ERL cap that says ‘ACTOR’ on it, Kartik Research trousers and some ELV jeans. And along with the haul, Vinted has also dropped a bunch of behind the scenes Polaroids of Mescal from his wardrobe fittings for you to peruse as well.
“Paul has always had a strong connection to vintage and pre-loved fashion. He’s often eager to re-wear pieces we’ve styled before or items from his own wardrobe,” said Mescal’s stylist Felicity Kay about the link up. “Partnering with Vinted for Paul’s Gladiator II promotion tour made perfect sense as it gave us the opportunity to delve deep into his love for secondhand clothes.” And with all proceeds going to the Irish mental health charity Pieta, the sale is for a good cause too, so make sure to grab some bits when they drop.
