Karl Lagerfeld Purple Jacket

This jacket doesn't sit quietly in a closet: the diagonal S-curve closure nips the waist into a sculptural, almost architectural shape, while the original floral-carved buttons soften the whole effect with an unexpected touch of romance. It's mainline Karl Lagerfeld from the late 1980s into the early 1990s, cut from dense French lambswool that holds its structured "pigeon breast" shape while staying soft against the body. Vintage French tailoring runs narrow through the torso and ribcage, so this one rewards a precise fit over a hopeful guess.
