LAST SEASONS LOOK

This gold leather jacket is by Ann Demeulemeester, who is known for her deconstructivist fashion. Here the metallic gold is the unexpected element. Especially the shoulder details could be right out of a Star Wars movie, while the soft gold is not a common choice for a leather jacket. Paired with feminine ruffles at the sleeve, the juxtaposition of different styles is completed. 

The perfectly tailored vest by Dior is an iteration of the famous Bar jacket of the Maison. Since the introduction of the garment in 1947 and with it the New Look the basic idea has been in almost every collection of Dior, no matter the current creative director. Here the jacket lost the sleeves and grew in length but kept the immaculate tailoring. The heavy material gives the vest a luxurious feel, while the elegance and simplicity of the cut will upgrade every look. Worn on its own, over a turtleneck or a blouse, this piece is as versatile as flattering.

Saint Laurent did it again and created an astonishing stapel. The usually classic black blazer has been upgraded for the fall/winter 2010 collection with inserts of clear plastic film. By a strategic placement it is possible to wear the jacket without anything underneath to show some skin or style it in a myriad of other ways. This creation is very unique and recognizable, yet wearable for not only the most fashion forward. 

A cropped pink blazer fits into the current barbie color trend. Lanvin loves the usage of details so the jacket is decorated with different buttons on the sleeves and the front. The cut of the jacket combined with the bold color and large buttons suggests the design is from the '90s, although similar cuts were seen again in the fall 2016 collection.

Shown in Paris in the fall 2007 this showstopping blazer is made for those who love a big entrance. The shoulders are not padded but adorned with many massive ruffles, beautifully framing the face. On the runway the cropped jacket was paired with a matching skirt, shoes and bag, all in houndstooth. These also could look great with jeans, a pencil skirt or just black pants.
