1994 'On Liberty' Vivienne Westwood Couture Velvet Frock Coat
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.

- 1960s Jeff Banks Clobber Black Velvet Hooded CoatBy Jeff BanksLocated in London, GBThis late 1960s black velvet hooded Clobber coat has a real autumnal, almost witchy feel. It features a high neck with button and loop fastening running all the way down the front, with each button embossed with a etched floral repeat pattern. The velvet itself is a very fine chenille, which has a lovely luminosity to it despite being charcoal black in colour. Though the main body of the jacket is unlined the hood is lined with soft black silky fabric, making it lovely and comfortable to wear. The coat flares out slightly at the waist, creating a classic Victorian, almost gothic style silhouette. This coat is in excellent vintage condition, with no flaws or marks to note. It is shown here on our size 6-8 model and would best fit up to a 8-10 UK, or 4-6 US. The influential designer was a pivotal member of the swinging 60s London fashion scene when he cofounded 'Clobber' in Blackheath Village, London, in 1964. The boutique carried both his own designs and the work of other designers and attracted celebrities such as Terence Stamp and Jean Shrimpton, Twiggy and some of the Beatles. It proved such a success that in 1969, he launched his own fashion label, opening the first standalone Jeff Banks...Category
