Andre and Coqueline Courreges were the masters of passive aggressive tailoring. Imagine in a perfectly polite French accent, "Oh non Madame, no seams at the waist - it weell follow your natural waist." and you believe it but despite no obvious seaming save for decorative, these little wedges of thick wool have a distinct, gorgeous silhouette than is undeniably Courreges. This label endures as fashion's most influential name along with Claire McCardell, Rudi Gernreich and Christian Dior. On the hanger a mere wedge of navy, on the body? Precise perfection that is not rigid or severe. Channel-stitched heavy wool twill that comes off as striped, there are welted seams in Vs at the armhole and across the yoke. Cap sleeves and a Herculean white zipper at the neckline, anchored by the AC embroidered logo in white. Two patch pockets over the hipbone and an invisible back zip, it is lined in navy silk crepe. Couture Future and I. Magnin labels, we love this any season at all. Courreges is always very fresh. Bust measures 34", hips 36" and length 35.5". Excellent condition with some discoloration to the lining only. sold |
