{"product_id":"mo-000098","title":"“Christian Dior” 90’s-00’s Contrast shawl collar jacket","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSince its founding, Christian Dior has focused on the beauty and elegance of the feminine image, continually refining its refined form to suit each era. We are pleased to present a standout piece that showcases exquisite tailoring.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEvoking the classic spirit of a smoking jacket, this piece has been elevated to a balance that can naturally be worn in daily life. With a deep, dark-navy body, the shawl collar and pocket areas are trimmed with a gray-toned fabric, reducing the color count while creating a distinct presence, embodying quiet luxury.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFirst, the oversized shawl collar flowing from the neck to the front placket catches the eye; this curved line gently drapes over the chest, softening the rigidity commonly associated with a tailored jacket and lending a soft impression to the face. The collar fabric is a finely heathered wool, creating a textural contrast with the body's delicate weave, and the depth becomes evident only on closer viewing, which is very elegant.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe body is crafted from a blend of 75% wool and 25% silk, where the softness of wool is enriched by a subtle silk sheen, giving depth to a navy that reads almost black. The fabric has a luster that changes with the angle of light, so it conveys substantial luxury without loud embellishments, and its drape when worn is also exceptional.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe front features a set of thick three buttons neatly aligned, creating a moderately low center of gravity, while the left side features a two-tier flap design, and the right side a single flap, resulting in a playful asymmetry. This asymmetry is a major value-add, preserving the tradition of the jacket while subtly introducing a fashionable discord, which is superb.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdditionally, the shoulder line maintains a constructional, era-appropriate silhouette, while the overall length is slightly longer, so when worn the vertical line is elegantly emphasized. It is cut in a balance that is neither too close to the body nor too oversized, therefore it is a silhouette that, though vintage, naturally fits the contemporary atmosphere.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRegarding its age, considering the Y-TK 03 markings typical of the domestic distribution license period, the numbering system likely derived from Kanebo, and the structured form and materials that take advantage of shoulder padding, this piece is credible as dating from the mid-1990s to the early 2000s. It was thoughtfully designed for the Japanese market at the time, and should be regarded not as a mass-produced item borrowing a foreign maison's name, but as a garment where Japan's high level of craftsmanship intersects with Dior's aesthetic.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is particularly recommended for those who prefer quality over showiness, or who find ordinary tailored jackets inadequate, and its depth makes it suitable for both dressy and casual wear, ensuring long-lasting use in a wardrobe. MOOD also believes that jackets which quietly express individuality like this provide the necessary breathing space for modern styling.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStyling-wise, pairing it with relaxed, drapey trousers and a lightweight shirt enhances a cosmopolitan, poised mood; when paired with a slim-knit or elegant wide-trousers, it yields a genderless, sophisticated impression. It also pairs beautifully over a long skirt or a minimalist dress, making it a piece that naturally moves between classic and mode.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe invite you to take this opportunity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"DIOR","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47933742121198,"sku":null,"price":459.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/2751\/1534\/files\/DSC_0292_518f20ed-335f-44f3-9b36-08a258e9f1a6.jpg?v=1776931637","url":"https:\/\/mood-by-link.com\/en-us\/products\/mo-000098","provider":"MOOD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
