About the Item
This incredible teal blue velvet couture frock coat by Vivienne Westwood is an excellent example of her interest in Victorian silhouettes and traditional 'dandy' styles. It featured heavily in her Fall/Winter 1994 collection, which came at the very height of her designing career. The fabric is a luxurious soft deep teal brushed velvet, which is even richer in real life. The coat has a wide pointed collar and an asymmetrical front fastening, with three gold buttons each embossed with the classic orb logo detail. The sleeves are flared at the cuff and are split from just below the elbow - they would look stunning with a frilled blouse underneath. The hem of the coat is longer at the front, coming to a neat point in a typical Westwood shape inspired by pirates and Victorian tailoring. There is a pleat running from waist to rear hem, creating a flattering, nipped in silhouette. The coat is lined with pale pearly pink silk, with the classic Vivienne Westwood logo and 'Made in England' label.
This is from the top of the range and Westwood's gold label collection with pieces made in very limited numbers. In fabulous vintage condition with no flaws or marks. Labelled a Size 10 UK, it is important to remember that Vivienne Westwood's own sizing system tends to come up small, and so this would best fit a size 6-8 UK, or 2-4 US.

By Thierry Mugler
Located in London, GB
1990s Thierry Mugler Royal blue wool blazer jacket where architectural detailing abounds in the construction. Tailored to the defined contours that the designer became known for, this cocktail jacket draws in the waist and adds volume around the hips, emphasising and highlighting the feminine figure - a silhouette instantly recognisable to those in the know. A single snap closure secures the front and is adorned with a triangular decorative piece smothered in circular and triangular rhinestones. Each cuff is finished with a miniature piece that echoes this centrepiece. The famous angles of Mugler’s silhouettes are echoed in the construction of the two angular welt pockets. The pale blue label reads “Thierry Mugler Paris”
Dating back nearly 40 years, this piece is in excellent vintage condition with no flaws of any note. The label reads 100% Wool and is labelled a French 38, UK 10 or US 6, but vintage brand...
