About the Item
With the finest fabric and tailoring--the base expectation for all progressive minimalist luxurious fashions designed for powerful women by German Jil Sander before the Prada-buyout in 1999, which quickly led to the designer's surprising departure based on her unwillingness to compromise quality--this early-1990s semi-transparent black linen deep-V-neck collared tunic was masterfully constructed like couture menswear by an Italian tailor in Milan to drape with the four bias cuts throughout the torso and long sleeves. The airy asymmetric-textured sheerness is contrasted with minimalist opaque accents in the same layered fabric, including a curvilinear ribbon-like invisibly-buttoned neckline and buttoned cuffs that softly gather each slim sleeve from two tucks. It will fit an international-size Small, while it has a top measurement of 15.5-inches from one shoulder seam to the other.
Considering the current avant-garde revealing fashion for brief-style short shorts paired with a see-through overlay, our top would be an ideal mini-dress to complete this sexy and leggy new kind of minimalist look. Apropos, a journalist quoted Sander about the style of her work: "It is possible to have a very sexy feeling without looking like a sex kitten."
Beyond the early-1990s brand and German-size 34 tags at the back of the neck, a "Jil Sander" printed tag--with faded text "Made In Italy" and "100% linen"--near the bottom of the left torso seam has an extra button sewn on it. The sole owner purchased the top when Sander opened a boutique in Paris in 1993. This was a few years after the entrepreneurial designer had converted her Hamberg-based company in to an eponymous public corporation. Subsequent-owner Prada sold the corporation in 2006 while Raf Simons was the Jil Sander creative director, whereafter it has continued to change hands involving other designers.
Notably, early pre-Prada Jil Sander garments are rare on the secondary market probably because they are such high quality with timeless style.

1930s JeanneLavinParis ArtDeco Tulle Silk CoutureAdaptation Black Evening Jacket
By Jeanne Lanvin
Located in Chicago, IL
In the 1930s when French fashion couturier Jeanne Lanvin (1867-1946) was creating decorative bias-cut silk tulle overlays for her feminine full-skirted sleeveless "robes de style", she designed this black semi-transparent silk-tulle formal jacket featuring diagonally-striped topstitched silk-crepe appliques throughout the bias-cut panels. This sheer geometric-patterned cape-like jacket has a skirt that drapes from an open waistline and a top-fastening bodice with gathered rounded 3/4-length sleeves that each have two arm seams and shirred embroidered cuffs. It could have been the first "swing coat" design that was given that name around 1935, when Lanvin was the "uncontested leader in the haute-couture field"--according to the French Palais Galliera that has collected and exhibited similar garments at its fashion museum in Paris. In New York, TheMet collected a House of Lanvin black evening coat with a similar shape that also features dramatic linear appliques, but in a white starburst that it dates to Spring/Summer 1927.
The unprecedented modern look of this Art-Deco women's jacket, which was inspired by 18th-Century French and Spanish topcoats for aristocratic court dresses, may have been good cause for Maison Lanvin to custom-make some close reproductions of a one-of-a-kind couture original for additional clients in Paris, which is implied by the remaining French brand-label noting "Adaptation Jean Lanvin...
