Vintage 1968 Norman Norell Black Wool Over-Sized Collar Double Breasted Mod Coat

About the Item

This chic Norman Norell coat, in a timeless black color, exemplifies his signature blend of couture level quality with quintessentially American style. This gorgeous garment, dating back to his 1967-68 fall winter collection, has the most flattering a-line silhouette with a bold double-breasted design. I love the over-sized wide collar and those lean, long sleeves with tons of buttons. As pointed out in the book "Couture: The Great Designers", Norell had a profound influence on the ready-to-wear industry and on younger American designers by insisting that off-the-rack clothing be as fine as made-to-order. The masterful design and superb quality of this garment more than meets his exacting standards. We added may pictures so you could enjoy and understand this wearable work of art. Measurements Bust:36-37 inches Waist: 33 inches Hips: up to 44 inches Sleeve Length: 22.5 inches Total Length: 40 inches Shoulder to Shoulder: 15.5 inches This Norman Norell designer coat is in beautiful condition with no rips, stains, discoloration or holes. All original buttons in place. Fully lined. Luxurious heavy-weight wool. Highly wearable and an investment piece that will continue to increase in value.

  • Antique 1910's Edwardian Brown Velvet & Metallic Gold Lamé Wide-Cuff Jacket
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    This breathtaking hand-finished Edwardian custom theatrical jacket dates back to the early 1900's. This sensational garment, fashioned in mocha-brown velvet, is lavishly embroidered with metallic gold lamé cording. The highly stylized applique work perfectly captures the Art Nouveau aesthetic. The wide-cuff sleeves have a billow chiffon undershirt effect; a regal patina which will add pizzazz to any modern ensemble. It closes with a single front hook, allowing endless possibilities of how one would style this garment. I love the heavily pleated bustle style skirting of the jacket. This is an extraordinary example of Edwardian refinement and a special find for the serious collector.

  • Vintage 1989 Yves Saint Laurent Leopard Print Cotton Twill Trench Jacket w/Tags
    By Yves Saint Laurent
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    Chic Yves Saint Laurent leopard print cotton-twill trench jacket from the infamous Rive Gauche collection during spring-summer of 1989. Pieces from this collection are very rare and are true examples of fashion history. I adore the cuffed-sleeves and front duel pockets. The jacket features hidden buttons and a sexy back-slit. It is wearable and comfortable, yet has its own iconic elements. The best part of all is, the trench is in mint never worn condition! "In the mid-1970s the relevance of haute couture was seriously debated. The political and social upheaval of the 1960s, the emergence of a plethora of creative ready-to-wear designers, and the increasing preference for a sportswear approach to dressing as represented by American fashion were among the shifts in lifestyles and taste that appeared to sound the death knell of the calcified and elitist world of the maisons de couture. It was at this time that Yves Saint Laurent, haute couture’s preeminent practitioner, threw caution to the prevailing winds with a collection of unrivaled fantasy and luxury."

    An alluring, yet fully-covered gown for those brides who seek modesty without looking mousy, this wedding gown was custom-made for a 1951 bride who valued discretion and beauty in equal measure. Though this gown pre-dates Kelly's, it is strikingly similar to the Helen Rose gown Grace Kelly wore to her wedding to Prince Ranier in 1956. Ivory lace wedding dress with high neckline and narrow Peter Pan collar with 33 working covered buttons from navel to throat; illusion sleeves, upper back and upper chest with interior attached ivory camisole beneath.
