A/W 95 Tailored Jacket Bordeaux

Tailored jacket in heavyweight wool plush. Features a cropped length, notch lapels with felted collar facing, 7/8 length sleeves, and full interior lining in luxurious cupro.

Highly wearable piece from one of Yohji's most dramatic, romantic collections. The fabric is a deep, luscious shade of wine with a heavily brushed pile on a woven base that feels extremely soft like cashmere. Seemingly simple, but the cut separates it from the rest - the waistline curves in to hug the body, and the 7/8 length sleeves have a subtle yet distinctive elbow curve reflective of Victorian era forms. The back princess seams also create a subtle flare at the bottom hem.

From the legendary A/W 95 collection. The season marked a radical turn in Yohji Yamamoto's work from the straight-line geometry of his 2 preceding Kimono themed collections toward a dramatically sculpted exploration of Western tailoring and couture history. Victorian and Edwardian forms were dismantled and recomposed around his fascination with the female back, weight of fabric, and movement — designing for a figure passing by — described as “designing the wind”.
