About the Item
As French couture made by Martin Grant at his Paris atelier in the Marais in the mid-1990s, this pale grey plaid lightweight-wool slit-skirt suit has many hand-tailored elements that create a curvaceous hourglass silhouette recalling a couture Christian-Dior original from 1947. On the fully-lined jacket these include eight additional curvilinear seams for a perfectly contoured cinched waist with flared ruffled peplum-like draping hem accented with faux-pocket flaps; topstitching around the lapels and oversized shawl collar; horizontal-seamed sleeves in front with curvilinear seams in back (to avoid wrinkling); and hand-dyed fabric buttons in a darker plaid.
The fitted skirt features unique asymmetrical curvilinear front seams at the nipped top, with the longer one turning into the single slit at the right knee. The symmetrical curvilinear back seams contour the butt on both sides of the centered invisible zipper.
Meant to be tight fitting, this small-sized made-to-measure skirt suit will look best on a U.S.-size 2 or a 4 with a thin waist.

1991 RunwayLook1 KatharineHamnett IridescentGreen FeltedCollar Fitted Skirt Suit
By Katharine Hamnett
Located in Chicago, IL
For the Spring/Summer 1991 made-in-Italy collection of her eponymous London-based brand, Katharine Hamnett debuted this fitted elongated jacket skirt-suit as "Look 1" in her fashion show (see our photo of the video coverage). Her working-woman styled model was unexpectedly accompanied by a male model adorned in a cowboy hat, which suggests her power over a strong man. In a different color without metallic accents, this sleek three-button single-breasted lined jacket is paired with a matching seafoam-green tucked skirt with back slit. Immediately apparent based on the seven piped princess seams around the torso, the jacket is expertly tailored like Savile-Row menswear. It also has a speckled-grey felted collar, piped front pockets, and triple-buttonhole split sleeves. The skirt closes in back with a center zip with hook-and-eye fastening.
The durable cotton-blend fabric, which is in excellent condition, is notable for its slight iridescence with a soft luster that links it to the reflective elements that dominated that colorful collection by Hamnett. We included photos of the suit lit by sunlight with yellow tones and in lighting with...
