Rare Find! 1970s Vintage Pauline Trigere A Line Wool Coat Racoonor Coyote Collar

Perfect condition, possibly never worn. Gorgeous, soft raccoon (possibly coyote) collar, pristine lining. "Like Chanel and Lanvin, Trigère did not sketch her designs; she cut and draped from bolts of fabric directly on models or mannequins. Although she was considered "a designer of classy, frill-less ready-to-wear, Trigère's work was inventive in many ways. In the 1940s, Trigère was among the first designers to use common fabrics such as cotton and wool in evening wear. Although her palette tended to be subdued, Trigère experimented with prints later in her career, as well as added unique accents to her dresses, capes, and coats, like fur trims and jewels. Trigère's loyal clients included Grace Kelly, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, Kay Wiebrecht, and Evelyn Lauder." She designed Patricia Neal's wardrobe in the movie "Breakfast at Tiffany's." - AstroDataBank Measurements: Neck to Hem (back) 41" Bust 38" Waist 32" Outer Sleeve 22" Inner Sleeve 15" Shoulder to Shoulder (back) 15" Fur Collar 7" wide Hem bottom. 27"
