OSSIE CLARK ICONIC COAT

In a way we are all looking forward to November when Resort 2012 collections hit the stores. All designers stepped it up this season including designers like Prabal Gurung and Joseph Altuzarra who added for the first time a Resort collection this year. One of the trends for this resort is the trench coat for every season. From the bright red leather trench at YSL to the patent one at Chloe, trenches came in all colors, prints and fabrications.
Why wait till November when you can get yours here;
This fantastic Ossie Clark piece de resistance: a snakeskin coat with brown leather bold trim and collar from around 1967. This is about as quintessentially Ossie as one can get and the coat is a very special addition to any fashionable connoisseur's collection of vintage fashion. It remains totally wearable and in surprisingly supple condition for a coat that probably saw it's share of Rolling Stones concerts and David Hockney happenings; all while making the fashionable transition from mod to hippie.
