A beautifully tailored example of Karl Lagerfeld’s refined 1980s design language, this rare ivory jacket was created exclusively for Henri Bendel and made in France.
Crafted in a subtly textured cotton-blend fabric, the silhouette features dramatically oversized shawl lapels, a nipped waist, and a softly sculpted pointed hem that creates an elegant, architectural shape. The single gold-tone statement button and elongated cuffs further enhance the jacket’s polished, sophisticated feel.
Equal parts timeless and distinctly of its era, this piece embodies the glamorous power dressing that defined Karl Lagerfeld’s work during the 1980s. The clean ivory palette makes it exceptionally versatile—equally striking styled with denim, tailored trousers, or worn over a slip dress for evening.
A rare collector piece from one of fashion’s most influential designers.
