    Spring 2002 Yves Saint Laurent by Tom Ford Runway Look 39 Leopard Fringe Silk Knit Caftan

    I Have A Question: Spring 2002 Yves Saint Laurent by Tom Ford Runway Look 39 Leopard Fringe Silk Knit Caftan


    • A longer version of this caftan walk the runway for the Spring 2002 YSL collection.
    • It was made under the creative direction of Tom Ford.
    • When this went to the shops it was sent in two lengths. One that was extremely long as shown on the runway and one that is a more manageable length that is about to the ankle on most women depending on your height.
    • The caftan is made from an ultra light fine silk knit. A fantastic leopard print is worked onto the fabric and I love the bold statement that this makes.
    • Long vertical panels of the knit are set side-by-side to make up the caftan and in between they are attached by little horizontal threads set down the full length of the caftan. This gives you a very subtle tiny cut outs vertically down you and all the way around.
    • It plunge in a V at the front and does the same thing at the back. The sides are closed with open slits for your arms to slip through. The body of the caftan is open and easy as a result and it should fit almost anybody
    • The lightness of the fabric makes it the perfect piece to wear on its own as an evening piece layered over something underneath, and that something could be as bare as you dare. You could also wear it during the day layered over a swimsuit. It is a really versatile piece and easy to travel with.
    • You can see how fantastically it moves in the video reference we added. 
    • It is unlined and slips over the head to where
    • Tagged  YSL Medium
    • Excellent condition

    Bust-hips: open
    Total length: 50" from the top of the shoulder to the hem including the fringes when it's laying out flat. When it is on it can extend down up to 59" at the sides.

    Modern Sizing Equivalent: OSFA

    Item# DD5152

    Extraordinary Fall 1985 Jean Patou Haute Couture by Christian Lacroix Feather Trim Cocoon Coat

    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.

    Iconic Fall 1976 Yves Saint Laurent Deep Purple Hooded Cape w Braided Edges & Tassel Details

    I Have A Question: Iconic Fall 1976 Yves Saint Laurent Deep Purple Hooded Cape w Braided Edges & Tassel Details


    This fantastic cape is from the Fall 1976 collection and several versions of it were produced that season including this deep purple one. We have included photos from the runway pieces here and we also found an ad campaign shot with its twin in what looks to be a lighter colour and included that for you to see as well. I personally have several versions of his capes myself and have worn them countless times. It is literally the perfect thing to pop over a dress at night time. It is a very versatile and so easy to wear piece.

    The cape is in a very beautiful deep purple combined with a more maroon coloured edging. The fabric is a high end wool that has a little bit of weight just due to the sheer amount of it in the cape but is still comfortable and easy-to-wear. This is one of those effortless pieces that is easy to make a part of your wardrobe. You just slip it over your shoulders and it drapes in place. A slightly oversized hood extends out from the neck and this added addition of the hood adds the perfect amount of detail and drama. A flat blue braided rope finished all the edges and I love the elaborate braided knot that closes it in place at the neck. A long fringed tassel sits on either side of that closure for added drama and an even longer tassel dangles down from the hood at the back. I love the bit of movement these create when you move. There is a ton of fabric in the body of the cape so that when you move you get wonderful movement as it floats and billows around you. The cut is impeccable and it is a great piece of YSL's fashion history. Excellent condition with a small note below

    Unlined and drapes over the shoulder to wear with a knot closure at the neck as seen. The occasional graze to the surface. The easy open cut should allow fit just about any size

    Length: 58" from shoulder to hem
