Issey Miyake winter 1994 long multicolour patchwork floral jacquard coat
Long (almost full lengthish) coat by issey miyake, from winter 1994. Made from different coloured panels (beige-y-brown, purple-y blue, blue yellow and red, angry red-orange) of a striking and very unusual floral patterned cotton jacquard fabric, it has an asymmetrical buttoned front, large, folded collar, and subtle inseam pockets. The shape on the body is long and voluminous, certainly cosy and maybe kind of robe-y or gown-y, and the fabric, while not 'lightweight' per se, is not as heavy as it might look to the eye.
The coat was the final look shown on the autumn winter 1994 runway (see picture 16, and the final slide for footage), worn with what looked to be a hat made of grass?? (sadly we don't have the grasshat). You can watch the runway show here, care of fashionchannel.it.
