1960s Donald Brooks Fabulous Floral Print Top Stitched Coat designer-givenchy Many of the pieces in

Many of the pieces in my collection are representative of the designer during a set time period in history that was different then our modern outlook

Fully lined in a fine black tissue silk and closes with a hand set

It all adds up to a dress that is simple but dramatic

Both pieces show some small scuffs and areas of pink color transfer to the suede parts and some very slight silvering to the darker leather patches from being folded in storage prior to acquisition

The silk has a touch of a wavy ribbed texture and a hint of transparency to it that gives it an interesting visual effect

This wonderful Donald Brooks coat is from his first, main line. The fabric and print are amazing. That huge splash of floral across that coat give it such drama and yet it is still pretty and chic. The lines are a nod to the classic double breasted trench and that fabric is just fantastic. The shape and flared line are all created
