Olivier Guillemin Teal Green Coat

Olivier Guillemin Teal Green Coat

A rare and special piece by the French avant-garde designer Olivier Guillemin. A wide cut a-line coat in teal green with an unusual iridescent lining that changes between purple and blue . Cleverly panelled across the body with raglan style sleeve and a shaped front placket that sits diagonally across the body when closed. Front is closed by square blue green buttons. Generous patch flap pockets either side.

circa late 80s - early 90s.

Olivier Guillemin's work has always been part of a quest for innovation, through materials, colours and shapes since his fashion studies at Studio Berçot. First assistant to Thierry Mugler and Azzedine Alaïa, he decided to create his own label in 1986. The winner of ANDAM in 1989, he presented fun and futuristic fashion with spectacular runway shows in unusual atmospheric settings. At the same time, he was a creative consultant to large textile groups and trade fairs, and was artistic director of ready-to-wear and licensing for Paco Rabanne (1991-93). Joyce Gallery celebrated his career with a retrospective exhibition of his fantastic pieces in 2017.

Fabric composition unmarked - a lightweight crepe possibly wool/ wool blend. 

Size unmarked, as it is a oversize piece I believe it would fit most - best to refer to measurements.
