Christian Dior 90’s stand-up collar-shaped jacket

Based on the spirit of haute couture, Christian Dior has boldly incorporated the mood of the times while maintaining a refined outline, and here we introduce an iconic piece.

This exquisite Christian Dior jacket features a neat stand collar and large buttons with subdued gloss, embodying the intelligence of the 90s in its silhouette.

This piece features a "Christian Dior" tag in serif type on a white background, and the size notation "9" derived from JIS rather than the French standard, clearly indicating it is part of a domestic license line (ready-to-wear for department stores) in Japan. Furthermore, the management code starting with "MD" aligns with the specifications of the group of pieces manufactured by Kanebo, which was the main license holder at the time, quietly ensuring its credibility as a 1990s range.

The design's charm lies in its approach of "tidying up the whitespace" with a stand collar that rises along the neckline, rather than the traditional "showing the collar" concept of tailoring. The placket is slightly offset with large, walnut-button-like buttons arranged vertically, creating a mode look through surface tension rather than decoration. The natural taper from the chest to the waist, along with the vertical lines controlling the fall at the back, creates a "soft structural quality" that makes the posture look better just by wearing it. Additionally, the pockets are placed in unobtrusive positions and sizes, and the balance that does not interfere with the presence of the buttons reflects the meticulous quality typical of department store standards of this era. As a wool-based outerwear piece, it offers strong reassurance for autumn and winter, and its deep tones that seem to absorb light connect to elegance regardless of the setting.

In terms of styling, pairing a shirt and slacks to create a clean look emphasizes the tension of the stand collar, and layering over a minimalistic one-piece dress to create a "surface" appeal also works well. Alternatively, pairing with a high-quality long skirt to create a quiet elegance through the contrast of straight lines and curves is also recommended.

Take this opportunity.
