Princess Diana’s infamous black sheep sweater, which hasn’t been produced since 1994, is finally back

The life of the “People’s Princess” will be heavily featured in season four of The Crown. She inspired an entire Off-White collection for spring 2018. And her personal style is the source of endless fascination.
That’s why the brand Rowing Blazers — which has a vintage Ivy League aesthetic and fans like Timothée Chalamet — just launched its first women’s collection as a tribute to young Princess Diana in the early ’80s. The standout piece is a recreation of Diana’s “black sheep sweater,” a red pullover featuring rows of white sheep and a single rebel in black.
Princess Diana is best remembered for being effortlessly glamorous, but she was also often playful, and she loved a witty knit. While the Rowing Blazers collection also features a recreation of her kitschy “I’m a luxury” sweater, the black sheep one might be our favorite. Then and now, it’s a reminder that she was aware of exactly how she fit into the royal family — and that she wasn’t interested in conforming to their stuffy ways of living.

But the real deal is back.
Some other items in the collection — including double-breasted blazers with matching trousers, bike shorts, Sherpa fleeces in fun jockey patterns, the brand’s famous rugby shirts, and Diana-inspired nylon hats — retail for $48 to $795. The sweaters go for $250. Shop the black sheep sweater below, and see the entire collection here.
