The dramatic shoulder and pin tuck detailing of this coat pre-empted the trend for the strong feminine silhouette characteristic during the 1940s. Asymmetric lines and crepe fabrication are reinterpreted with a twist while the lace lining updates the coat for the modern woman.

1948 – Red bow back skirted coat

Influenced by the new look Dior shows of the late 1940s this coat epitomises the return of the

fuller waisted silhouette of the era. The Peter Pan collar, bow back detailing and narrow sloping

shoulders are classic references of the time and the clustered ditsy floral lining gives a contemporary

feminine look.

1958 – Winter white wool coat

Influenced by the Givenchy shows and Silver Screen Sirens of the era the cream wool cocoon coat pairs hidden seems and sculpted pocket detailing for a timeless piece. The animal lining adds humour and references the radicalisation that came with the dawn of the 1960s.

1965 – Red and black princess coat

This classic A-line silhouette and shorter style reflects the importance of the fashion savvy female market during the swinging 60s. The double breasted detail and covered buttons add a chic edge to the minimal styling, while the geometric lining references the importance of pop culture in the decade.

1972 – Camel collarless cape

This cape embodies the key style of the 1970s. The camel tone and cashmere/ wool fabrication reflect the jet set glamour of the time. Team with a pair of flairs, the must have women's trousers shape for AW10 for a modern take on this classic coat. The removable scarf collar and gold button add a luxurious edge.
