The Epitome of Archival Tailoring

From the Karl Lagerfeld mainline, circa late 1980s to early 1990s. This striking jacket in a deep royal purple showcases Lagerfeld’s mastery of "New Wave" tailoring, blending 18th-century silhouettes with modern structuralism of its time.

Design Details

The standout feature is the signature "S-Curve" diagonal closure, creating a sculptural, nipped-in waist that is both dramatic and incredibly flattering. The jacket is finished with its original, custom-molded floral-carved buttons—a delicate, romantic contrast to the bold, architectural funnel neck and crisp lapels.

Fabric & Construction

Crafted in France from 100% premium lambswool, the fabric has a dense, luxurious hand that maintains its structured "pigeon breast" shape while remaining soft to the touch.
