Exquisite documented (see last photo) Christian Dior Haute Couture pinstriped jacket. This jacket was designed by Marc Bohan for the Christian Dior Haute Couture Spring/Summer 1976 collection. It is entirely done by hand to Haute Couture standards of light wool in a warm caramel shade with white pinstripes and lined in matching pure silk. The jacket features notched lapels, long sleeves, a fixed drawstring style tie belt and one chest pocket. It closes with one inside hidden button (see photo 9) and the belt that can be tied in various ways. The label reads: “Printemps-Été 1976, Christian Dior Paris, Made in France“ and wears the Haute Couture number “07151“. The fabric content is marked: “98% Laine (Wool), 2% Polyamide; Doublé (Lining): Soie (Silk).“ PLEASE NOTE: The jacket is in person even better and a piece of high-fashion history. Christian Dior (1905-1958) was a French couturier and one of the most influential designers of the 20th century. His designs have been worn by film stars and royalty as well. Dior began his fashion career by selling sketches of hats and finally founded his own fashion house in Paris in 1946. For his first collection, he created the opulent "New Look" with a fuller bust, a cinched waist and a full skirt which contrasted the grim living conditions of post-war Europe. The head designers at the House of Dior have been: Christian Dior (1946-1957) Yves Saint Laurent (1957-1960) Marc Bohan (1960-1989) Gianfranco Ferré (1989-1997) John Galliano (1997-2011) Bill Gaytten (2011-2012) Raf Simons (2012-2015) Maria Grazia Chiuri (2016-present) Excellent vintage condition with two small pinholes, one at the left sleeve near the hem and one at the right tie belt strap. Please refer to photos 8 and 10. The jacket appears to have been never worn or worn very little.
