Jean for Joseph Le Bon Silver Sequin Silk 1980s Evening Jacket

Jean for Joseph Le Bon Silver Sequin Silk 1980s Evening Jacket

$349.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

The sequin work on this jacket is not decoration. It is the entire statement. Thousands of silver sequins and faceted crystal-effect beads are hand-sewn across 100% pure silk in a sweeping arabesque pattern, the black background disappearing almost entirely beneath the weight of the embellishment. Up close, the variation is visible: flat black sequins building the dark forms, bright silver-tone beads tracing the scrolling lines between them with a glittering precision that photographs simply cannot do justice to.

The silhouette is relaxed and easy! A straight, unstructured cut with long sleeves and a round neckline finished with a narrow beaded trim, sitting hip-length with a gentle A-line ease from shoulder to hem. The front opens on a concealed zip. The pure silk lining carries the same quality commitment as the shell. This is a piece that understood exactly what it was made for: an entrance.

Designer Information: Jean for Joseph Le Bon was a Paris, Hong Kong, and New York eveningwear label, known for its hand-embellished pure silk jackets produced in India during the 1980s and into the 1990s. The label operated across three fashion capitals simultaneously, targeting the international occasion-wear market. Pieces turn up in collector circles and at auction, where the combination of 100% silk construction and hand-applied sequin and bead work distinguishes them from the mass-produced eveningwear of the same era.

Milady Styles 1970s Black and Silver Lurex Stripe Knit Maxi Skirt Set

Milady Styles 1970s Black and Silver Lurex Stripe Knit Maxi Skirt Set

$229.00

Tax included. Shipping calculated at checkout.

Fine black and silver stripes run through both pieces, with plain silver lurex used at the high collar, waistband and cuffs. The top sits close through the body, long sleeves softly easing in to cuffs, and a zip running the length of the centre back. Below it the skirt opens into an A-line and falls all the way to the ankle. Worn together the two make one long unbroken column. Milady Styles made this set in New Zealand, and half a century on both pieces are still together.

Two pieces means two ways to wear it. The top goes well with almost any denim pairing or simple skirt when you want a little shine on an ordinary day, and the skirt carries a simple knit just as easily. A low heel or a long boot flatters the skirt length. Or wear the whole thing as it was made and go somewhere where you can make an entrance.
