1980s Celadon Coat with Printed Vinyl Hem

the printed word

editor tested - customer approved


Women who love books very often have a fascination for clothing with printed words. From Jean-Charles de Castelbajac's hand-painted poem dresses to Ann Demeulemeester's way of incorporating beaded phrases into the wispiest of separates, it calls to something cerebral and profound, while fashion is often so superficial. To look down at your own body and catch a glimpse of something that means something is a powerful experience. A pale celadon synthetic crepe coat with a tissue-thin printed vinyl hem that reads, "It doesn't matter where I've been nearly as much as where I'm going". Zips up the front with a stand up band collar and deep pockets, it is lined in celadon jersey and would look fantastic over an Alberta Ferretti dress and low Cydwog shoes. Bust measures 42", shoulder to shoulder 17", outer sleeve 24.5" and length 39.5". Excellent condition. sold
