About the Item
This incredible teal blue velvet couture frock coat by Vivienne Westwood is an excellent example of her interest in Victorian silhouettes and traditional 'dandy' styles. It featured heavily in her Fall/Winter 1994 collection, which came at the very height of her designing career. The fabric is a luxurious soft deep teal brushed velvet, which is even richer in real life. The coat has a wide pointed collar and an asymmetrical front fastening, with three gold buttons each embossed with the classic orb logo detail. The sleeves are flared at the cuff and are split from just below the elbow - they would look stunning with a frilled blouse underneath. The hem of the coat is longer at the front, coming to a neat point in a typical Westwood shape inspired by pirates and Victorian tailoring. There is a pleat running from waist to rear hem, creating a flattering, nipped in silhouette. The coat is lined with pale pearly pink silk, with the classic Vivienne Westwood logo and 'Made in England' label.
This is from the top of the range and Westwood's gold label collection with pieces made in very limited numbers. In fabulous vintage condition with no flaws or marks. Labelled a Size 10 UK, it is important to remember that Vivienne Westwood's own sizing system tends to come up small, and so this would best fit a size 6-8 UK, or 2-4 US.

2006 Roberto Cavalli Runway Green Silk Embossed Velvet Coat Dress
By Roberto Cavalli
Located in London, GB
This incredible emerald green coat-dress was designed by Roberto Cavalli and appeared as the opening look on the Fall 2006 runway paired with a fur stole. Roberto Cavalli’s fabrics are instantly recognisable for their luxurious textures and bold, often animal-inspired prints, which fuse opulence with a sense of hedonistic glamour. True to form, the fabric is beautiful; crafted from a decadent sheer silk chiffon in a rich green hue, it is adorned all-over with large flowers embossed in a silk-mix velvet and detailed with glistening gold paint. The louche, draped silhouette is theatrical, recalling the opulence of 1920s kimonos...
