Christian Dior
'-SPECIAL- "Christian Dior" 80's-90's Shaped flare silhouette collarless coat
Since its founding, the concept has been "elegant."
Even today, this tradition is expressed in various ways.
From Christian Dior,
We will introduce you to some special items.
The high-quality wool with minimal brushing gives the surface a smooth finish, and the alternation between straight lines and curves gently picks up the contours of the body, creating a masterpiece that exudes a clean elegance and a certain structural beauty.
The V-line neckline creates a space for extra space, and the collarless design goes well with any neckline. It naturally draws the eye vertically while keeping the face neat and tidy. The raglan sleeves relax the shoulders, while the seam that flows into the front creates a three-dimensional effect. The horizontal waist seam below the chest gently raises the center of gravity, making it a stylish design that can be worn both fastened and open.
The metal buttons on the front have a subtle sheen that adds a restrained accent, and the spacing between them creates a rhythm that adds depth to the minimalist look.
The back features multiple panel lines that extend from the soft curve of the yoke to the hem, creating a beautiful flared look that doesn't spread too much as you walk, creating an impressive, neat and tidy silhouette all the way from the back. The sleeves are slim and balanced to avoid excessive volume, making it easy to choose items to layer underneath, and the mid- to long-length length creates a slender, slender silhouette that balances the overall figure.
As an added value, the combination of no collar, raglan, and panel cut is a modern interpretation of the "waist-first" elegance that the Maison has always valued, and the minimalist design with minimal ornamentation that highlights the skill of the tailoring is a truly Dior-esque intellectual beauty. Because the lines speak for themselves rather than the details, the piece blends naturally with everyday wear and formal occasions, while also evoking a sophisticated look in every manner.
Based on the accompanying tag details, this piece most likely dates to the late '80s to early '90s (roughly 1988-1992). It features a hanging ring with "Dior" engraved on the back of the neck, a woven label with "Christian Dior" and a Japanese size 9 in neat serif type on a white background, a simple Japanese care label in old JIS symbols, and the serial number "MD06C2600" used for domestic sales at the time, all of which are consistent with a production date before the revised international notation system. The fabric is listed as 93% wool, 4% nylon, and 3% cotton, with the premium wool providing fullness, while the nylon provides abrasion resistance and resilience, and the cotton slightly complements the surface and stiffness. The texture of this piece reflects the original design philosophy of "developing a lustrous patina with long wear."
Dior from this era is known for its elegance, expressed through lines and surfaces rather than excessive decoration. The no-collar style makes the most of the space around the neck, the raglan style relaxes the shoulders, and the panel structure gently widens towards the hem, all of which are modern interpretations of the house's "attractive waist" aesthetic. When fastened, the center of gravity is raised, and when open, the hemline straightens out, giving the garment a refined, well-organized look. Furthermore, the metallic four-hole buttons have a moderate sheen that reflects the mood of the era, and while the logo is understated, they bring out the shadows of the material, and the "growing texture" that smooths and matures with use is a great ally.
In other words, the timelessness of the label and care instructions, and the quiet architectural beauty embodied in the design, are all in the same direction, making this a piece with great archival value and universal appeal that will easily fit into your current wardrobe.It's a masterpiece that will last a long time and will gain elegance with its texture and silhouette.
As for styling, layering a high-gauge turtleneck over a fly-front shirt and matching it vertically with wide slacks with creases and leather boots will highlight the drape of the collarless shirt, creating an elegant yet fashionable look. Alternatively, tying a thin silk scarf and tucking it into the V-zone and wearing it over a set or minimalist knit will create a chic look that stands out even with minimal metal accessories.
Please take this opportunity.
