1960s Rare Philippe Venet Green Coat & Belt designer-hanae-mori Bust: to 25" flat acrossThis is an excellent and rare example of Philippe Venet work. A fine wool is woven into a subtle herringbone pattern in a soft green. I love the princess cut full skirt and how the sleeves each have a slight pouf above the deep cuffs. Front flap pockets and high neck mix in a slight military feel. Retains its original suede belt that is numbered on the back suggesting a custom or special order. Venet worked under both Elsa Schiaparelli and Givenchy
