Burberry Lace Trench Coat in Parade Red [SGD 4595]
Material : (Outer) 53% Cotton, 41% Viscose, 6% Polyamide
(Lining) 100% Silk
Details : Epaulettes (an ornamental shoulder piece on an item of clothing, especially on the coat or jacket of a military uniform), lace, belted cuffs, belt, lapel collar, double breasted front
As lace is in trend, it is mainly used for the shell of this jacket. In my opinion, what makes this clothing item extremely costly is the different types of fabrics used, the number of details added to it and the quality of fabric and work put into creating this garment. I like the epaulettes most as I feel that it makes the garment seem classy. Due to the silk lining, it is not recommendable to wear this piece as this material makes you warm.
(Top) Gucci New Flora Silk Jacket [SGD 2190]
Material : 100% silk
Details : Gucci ribbon, flounce sleeves, ruffles
(Bottom) Gucci New Flora Print Skirt [SGD 2350]
Material : 100% silk
Details : knife pleats
This garment is my favourite out of all that I've selected as I love how simple and elegant the pattern of the jacket and skirt is but the floral prints compose the whole look. I've always been attracted to the Victorian era inspired look and I'm interested to work with it. The signature look for the jacket would be the Gucci ribbon and I've notice that it is Gucci's trademark. They didn't forget details as tiny as buttons as I can see that they had put in effort to pick buttons that suit the jacket.
MIU MIU Crystal & stud-embellished leather bomber jacket [SGD 5000>]
Material : Leather
Details : Ruffles, ring zipper, studs, pull up zipper pockets, embroidery on the back
We were drawn to this bomber jacket due to its colour and details that overall gives off a youthful and cheerful appearance. The designer added mini ruffles to the jacket and although not clearly visible, there are crystals and studs embellished onto the jacket giving off a hint of rocker chic. There is also embroidery on the back of the jacket. I discovered that bomber jackets were first worn by Amelia Earhart when she flew across country.
