    I Have A Question: Extraordinary Fall 1985 Jean Patou Haute Couture by Christian Lacroix Feather Trim Cocoon Coat


    • Note that due to new regulations this coat can only ship to a Canadian address 
    • This appears to be the actual Haute Couture sample coat that walked the runway for the Fall 1985 Jean Patou collection for Look 12
    • Made under the creative direction of Christian Lacroix 
    • This is an extremely rare and important piece of fashion history. Very few pieces of his work at Patou come up for sale and this is more then likely the only piece to exist.
    • Made in the Paris atelier
    • Made of a soft orange wool shaped in an enveloping cocoon shape highly reminiscent of a 1920s flapper coat.
    • It is all cut on the bias so once it is on the body it wraps around you beautifully. It is extraordinary. 
    • The sleeves are quite extremely wide and they have a long wide cuff that flips up and over the sleeve. The cuff is completely covered in hand dyed feathers.
    • More of the same hand dyed feathers are used to create a huge shawl collar that drapes down and over the shoulders. It continues to run all the way to the hem and circles around to the back hem.
    • The coat narrows in as it reaches its bottom. This is a classic cut for this style of cocoon coat
    • It feels wonderfully decadent and opulent, both key design elements in Lacroix's work. It is literally like wearing a work of art.
    • Partially lined in a silk through the upper body of the coat and through the sleeves. The rest is unlined.
    • Has its hand written Haute Couture sample label in place and attached metal couture tag
    • Excellent condition

    It is very full and open and has no closures so should fit almost any size. It is approximately 52 inches from neck to hem but that will come up a bit once it is on the body.

    Modern Sizing Equivalent: OSFA

    Item# DD5048
