Kimono Coat
Jeanne Lanvin
1935
Black and white silk taffeta kimono sleeve wrap coat. Using traditional Japanese construction techniques, a simplistic functional form is seamed from a single square of material resulting in minimal waste. Pure in form and function, the use of classic black and white is textured by the use of trapunto-stitch detail, which binds the black exterior with the white interior while adding additional body to the structure and warmth for the wearer.

(I came across these old scans, will re-do when I get hold of the book again.)
