Context:

What could once only have seemed to be Miss Havisham's ruined raiment is the pointedly distressed version of a sweater elongated and eviscerated by Yamamoto. As it balances a clothing standard and its disarray, so the 'deconstructed' sweater-dress equivocates among the seasons and could justly serve in any season.
