Description: | This day outfit comprises a navy blue pinstripe double-breasted jacket with broad lapels and a pair of plain navy blue wide-legged trousers.
The late 1980s were a pivotal time in European fashion. A number of significant designers, including Jean-Paul Gaultier, transformed the silhouette of women's day clothes from the short, boxy styles of the early 1980s into a longer and more fluid line. This particular outfit shows the influence of men's tailoring on women's fashion that was a defining style throughout the 1980s. | Publisher: | Leicestershire County Council's Museum Service | Subjects: | Jacket Next Fashion Woman's Outfit Clothing | Temporal: | 1987 | Source: | Leicestershire Museums | Identifier: | http://museums.leics.gov.uk/collections-... | Go to resource |
