Mangone Black Deco Cutout Seam WWII Pencil Suit - M, 1940s
About the Item
A Hindenburg survivor, Philip Mangone was born into a family of Italian tailors and favored the sleek, military silhouettes he employed while designing WAC uniforms during WWII. With its strong shoulders and slim skirt, this suit is demonstrative of Mangone’s military influences but remains feminine through the use of decorative seam details on the jacket front. The ingenious round cutouts at the jacket hips actually double as shallow pockets!
*From the personal collection of department store heiress Estela Jácome
Pencil suit of heavyweight textured wool crêpe. Jacket features lightly padded, puffed shoulders, front and rear full princess seams and rounded notch collar; front jacket seam detail scrolls in arabesque curves from underarms to hips, featuring cutout circles that double as shallow pockets at each hip. 4-button front closure; fully lined in silk crêpe. Skirt features plain waistband, inverted pleats at front hips and double darts at back; rear kick pleat. Left side zipper closure with tabbed double hook and eye at waistband; skirt unlined.

Milly Brown Satin Cone Bra Bolero and Petrol Ruched Pencil Skirt Suit - XS, 2002
By Milly New York
Located in Tucson, AZ
Angular, sexy and powerful from top to bottom, this satin suit is built of two pieces that can be worn together, as separates, or with our complementary Milly Autumn Roses suit listed under separate cover. With a sly nod to Gaultier’s fierce conical bodices and a skintight ruched pencil skirt that cups the derrière, the set has an edgy femininity that demands attention. The lining of each piece matches the exterior of the other, creating a sophisticated, intentional mismatch.
Mismatched skirt and jacket set with complementary lining. Chocolate satin jacket features gently conical bust, surplice bracelet sleeves and 2” self ruffle around all edges. Clutch silhouette with no closures; fully lined in petrol silk to match skirt. Skirt features front and back 7” wide ruched panels from waist to hem for extra narrow fit; left side notch at knee for ease of walking. Left zipper closure; lined in brown silk to match jacket.
