CYCLONE: An area of closed, circular fluid motion rotating in the same direction as the earth, characterised by inward spiraling winds. Cyklon is a knitted sleeveless top which twists in a circular motion around the body, folding and draping according to how the wearer positions the armholes on the shoulders.
