You've heard it before, and no doubt you'll hear it again: The Cosby sweater is back with a vengeance. The ubiquitous gaudy knits, named after those worn by comedian Bill Cosby on 'The Cosby Show,' are beloved by everyone from irony-laden thrifters to fashion's top designers.
Not unlike the ugly Christmas sweater trend, Cosby's flamboyant knitwear has become a cultural touchstone. Yet beyond the standard nostalgia for the ostentatious '80s, the reasons why the world went Cosby sweater-crazy are less clear. So Collectors Weekly asked Bill Cosby himself.
