1980s Norma Kamali Dramatic Plaid Suit

This set is insane and insanely fabulous! It is dead stock Norma Kamali made of a light weight silk taffeta upon which is that wonderful, bold plaid design. The suit absolutely nails everything that was fabulous about the eighties. The jacket has an over-sized voluminous silhouette that tops the fabulous skinny cigarette leg pants that end just above the ankles. Huge shoulder pads sit inside each shoulder - they actually can be cleverly removed as they attach by strips of Velcro (cutting edge stuff then) so you can give this a softer more relaxed feel by wearing the jacket without the shoulder pads if you wish. The waist nips in severely, further emphasizing that wasp waist look. A fabulous peplum exaggerates the hips. The pants are sleek and skinny under all of that drama. It has never been worn and still has its original hang tag and extra button for the jacket. It is an amazing and iconic set! Unworn condition.
