Bernard Perris Coat

This Space Age coat from the 1970's was designed by Bernard Perris and Made in France.  Do you think that it is just a coincidence that the coat is the "Apollo" model?

Bernard Perris worked as a design assistant under Marc Bohan, Guy Laroche and Jacques Heim before starting his own company in 1969.  He is known for dramatic and theatrical designs, and The Musee des Decoratifs in Paris held an exhibition of his designs in 1988.

Creamy white wool is accented by dark chocolate brown bands of vinyl.  This is channel quilted and used at the yoke, cuffs and hemline.  The lining of the coat is brown and white corresponding to the fabric on the outside.  There are three large brown hooks and eyes at the bodice and two pockets at the side seams.  Copious amounts of hand stitching are apparent in this garment.  The coat still retains the original price tag and it is in excellent condition.
