A B O U T 

This striking 1960’s silk evening coat is a dramatic homage to the sculptural elegance pioneered by Cristóbal Balenciaga. Cut in an exaggerated aline silhouette, the coat showcases the era’s fascination with architectural volume and controlled minimalism. The outer shell is crafted from luminous silk & wool shantung with a subtle sheen, allowing the clean lines and generous proportions to speak with quiet authority. Opening the coat reveals a bold hot pink silk lining—an unexpected, fashion-forward contrast that delivers a vivid flash of color with movement. Hidden pockets at the sides and bold saucer buttons at the front. 

Designed to be worn as an evening statement piece, the coat exemplifies mid-century couture influence, where impeccable construction and restrained drama defined luxury. The shape is both powerful and elegant, making it ideal for layering over eveningwear or elevating a streamlined ensemble. A superb example of 1960’s design inspired by Balenciaga’s revolutionary approach to form, proportion, and modern femininity.

I have long resisted parting with this one, it's truly a work of art. In excellent condition, freshly dry cleaned and ready to wear.
