Ceci n’est pas un sweater -

Antoine Peters at Kiki Niesten Maastricht

To celebrate arrival of his new collection at Kiki Niesten, Dutch designer Antoine Peters created a sweater with the world's longest sleeves. At this moment he took over Kiki Niesten store with an installation in the window display.
It leads to an unofficial world record, while an application to the Guinness Book of Records is still ongoing. Among the sweater with the longest sleeves you can find his new collection. Several pieces are marked with an qoute by René Magritte 'Ceci n’est pas un sweater'.
