Chester Weinberg vintage designer sequin jacket

The perfect jacket for Thanksgiving. Beautiful autumnal colors embillished with clear sequins create just the right amount of sparkle. This is a Chester Weinberg original. In the 1960s and 70s, the fashion designer Chester Weinberg was a household name, usually mentioned in the same breath as Bill Blass, Geoffrey Beene, and Oscar de la Renta. With his daring yet elegant clothes and outsize personality, Weinberg was the undisputed darling of the fashion press, and he was equally beloved by the industry, winning a Coty Award in 1970—the fashion equivalent of an Oscar. He worked with a who’s-who of models, photographers, and editors, and dressed socialites and celebrities including Barbra Streisand, Dionne Warwick, and Nancy Reagan. As an instructor at Parsons School of Design, he mentored the likes of Donna Karan, Isaac Mizrahi, and Marc Jacobs. This jacket is in very good condition. No rips or tears. Photos show the few places were some of the clear sequins are missing. (Under the arms in two photos) These can be easily replaced.
