"VALENTINO" 90’s Couture-lined hooded coat

Fading of the lining color present

Introducing an iconic piece from VALENTINO, which creates timeless items and collections by revisiting production techniques and incorporating innovations to push the boundaries of creativity.

A masterpiece from the mid to late 1990s, crafted by Italy's GFT. Among VALENTINO's collections, the "MISS V" line is characterized by designs that incorporate couture sensibilities into everyday wear. The balance that elevates elegance instantly upon wearing, without ostentatiously displaying glamour, is truly remarkable.

What first catches the eye is the structure that maintains the neatness of the coat while adding a hood. The collar stands properly, and the presence of the hood creates shadows around the face, subtly tightening the overall styling. Furthermore, the front features buttons that follow the vertical line naturally, and the clean fall of the placket conveys a sense of "well-tailored quality" without relying on decoration.

There is a subtle gathering at the waist, allowing the silhouette to be switched between a straight line and a slightly cinched three-dimensional shape by adjusting the tension, making it highly practical. The pockets with flaps, rounded corners, and understated stitching create elegant shadows, maintaining both functionality and surface beauty, which is characteristic of VALENTINO's meticulous craftsmanship.

The lining features quilting, which enhances warmth without sacrificing lightness, embodying the concept of "practical luxury" of the time. The design incorporates the temperature sensation the moment you put it on, reflecting the maturity of real clothes held by Italian maisons of the 90s. The quilting inside the hood also creates a beautiful shadow, and the contrast between the minimal exterior and the carefully crafted interior elevates the unique value of this piece.

For styling, pairing a high-quality shirt with neat slacks and making the vertical fall of the coat and the nuances of the waist the main features creates a clean look. If you want to add a bit more mood, pairing minimalist dresses or long skirts with leather shoes and embracing the quiet elegance derived from couture is also recommended.

Take this opportunity.
