1991 RunwayLook1 KatharineHamnett IridescentGreen FeltedCollar Fitted Skirt Suit

About the Item

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 blue tones. While the size is tagged as small, the skirt suit will best suit a U.S.-size 4-6. To replicate the runway "Look 1", the buy could shorten the hem, which has not been adjusted. The early 1990s marked when female business executives began pairing colorful menswear-style suit jackets like this one with jeans, which embodied the casual masculinity that Hamnett encouraged for women.
