DBSS HOLIDAY '09: NOW AVAILABLE AT BLACKBIRD
Well, we're happy to say that the wait was entirely worth it. A sought after handful of Diet Butcher Slim Skin's Holiday '09 collection pieces have landed at Blackbird in the form of some seriously impressive and boundary-pushing knits. Designed exclusively for the Japanese market, these painstakingly well-considered sweaters are only available in core Japanese sizes 1 and 2, and they're sure to fly off the racks. Don't miss out.
Diet Butcher Slim Skin - D94C407 Hooded Zip Sweaterin black
DETAILS: 100% wool sweater with hood lined in destroyed 57% wool, 19% cotton, 14% nylon, 10% polyester fabric and two-way asymmetrical zip closure. This mean little hoodie's shiny silver zipper, light and stretchy fabric, and insanely messed up-looking hood liner gives it distinctive character that average sweater or sweatshirt could only dream of possessing. Wear this highly coveted Diet Butcher Slim Skin Holiday Collection sweater as a slinky, slim fitting mid-layer or throw it on over a body-hugging top and let the two-way zipper hang partially open. We love this piece under a fitted leather or waxed cotton jacket, but once it warms up outside, it'll hold its own as one of the most sinister knits in town when worn all by itself. Made in Japan.

Diet Butcher Slim Skin - D94K178 Mohair Stripe Sweaterin black
DETAILS: 63% kid mohair, 30% nylon, 7% wool crew neck sweater with color blocking in black, charcoal, teal, and hot pink. Loose knit and relaxed-fitting, this thrift store style sweater's asymmetrically cut and colored sleeves and luxuriously soft construction make it seriously enviable. Wear it sloppily over skintight black jeans and combat boots for prototypical late 70's punk style or throw everybody off when you pair it with a sharply tailored suit and your crispest buttoned up white dress shirt. OK, if you must, you can throw the combat boots into that mix too.

Diet Butcher Slim Skin - D94C408 V Neck Sweaterin black
DETAILS: 4% acrylic, 20% nylon, 16% wool V-neck sweater with 50% cotton, 50% silk shoulder liner and quadruple-seam details at collar and cuffs. With its almost obsessive compulsive seaming and characteristic slim and elongated fit, this space age V-neck from Diet Butcher Slim Skin's hard to find Holiday Collection is a far cry from the run-of-the-mill church sweaters of your youth. Cut form fitting but stretchy, it's the unbasic basic that can go dressy or goth casual depending on what you pair it with. Try it with a dark tie and tailored gray point collar shirt for a look straight out of the West Point Class of 2026 yearbook, or layer it over and under other narrow fitting basics for a simple and versatile addition to your dark, design-conscious collection. Made in Japan.

Featuring a sinister, ripped and frayed looking loose knit front and sleeves and a starkly contrasting sleek and tailored back, this one-of-a-kind sweater from Diet Butcher Slim Skin's sought after Holiday '09 Collection offers more looks than you can shake a stick at and stunning texture and proportion to boot. Show off its ghostly weave over lighter colored layers or let its length peek out from under traditional formalwear for a sinister peak at what lies beneath. Spooky good.
