Evening coat

1925 · silk, rhinestones, fur, metallic · Costume Institute

The combination of fur and rhinestones and the extravagant pink chiffon lining with its velvet appliqués make this evening coat an example of opulent 1920s' design. The jagged faille and fur pattern with its rhinestone borders are evoke an image of teeming snow or icicles.
