Now that you've become a little more familiar with what's usually available in the world of vintage clothing, you know that certain designers are not too hard to find; Pucci, Gucci, Trigere, and while they're all excellent labels, they're not technically in the realm of rarities. You've probably also bought yourself a few vintage books along the way and seen Emanuel Ungaro coats from the 60s that set your tippy-toes on fire. A former protege of Courreges, Ungaro took what he learned from Andre and Coqueline and made it his very own. His stuff was very youthful and also very sophisticated - a gap that was only beginning to be acknowledged in the 60s. Young women who didn't want to look like girls and older women who didn't want to look like, well, old ladies shopped Ungaro and Courreges. But Ungaro coats are not common and certainly not the funky ones. Oh how we wish they were; we'd be an office full of Ungaro disciples. Tangerine mohair with matte tangerine buttons along the placket and wrists, with a matching belt buckle and welted seam detailing. A splashy burst of color at a time of year when you need it or in autumn when you want to match the sugar maples turning flame in Central Park. Lined in tangerine silk crepe, this was designed for Parallele, has pockets at both hips and is vented in the back to the top of your thigh. Bust measures 35", shoulder to shoulder 14", outer sleeve 22" and length 41". Excellent condition with the exception of some minor soiling on the lining. $2100.00 |
