Vintage 80s Anne Klein II Tweed Blazer

Own a piece of fashion history with this sublime tweed jacket by Anne Klein II. Vintage from the 80s, it's in absolutely remarkable condition. The rich, deep red and navy plaid tweed (woven from a blend of cotton, wool and acrylic) is lusciously soft and has a beautifully tactile, almost woolly texture. Expertly tailored with a slightly cropped length and sleeves, a single button closure and graceful rounded lapels, this is a versatile piece that will enliven any outfit. Soft shoulder pads and jetted pockets complete the sophisticated design. Anne Klein was a pioneering designer in the American fashion landscape whose vision forever changed the way women dress. From founding her namesake label in 1968 to the legendary Battle of Versailles in 1973, Anne Klein cemented herself at the forefront of the industry in an era of historic change. Her ethos of classic, essential pieces that could be mixed and matched and transition from day to night is reflected in this stunning jacket, a piece you can throw on over a white T-shirt with jeans and loafers for a casual lunch or dress up for the office with wool trousers, boots and a blouse. When Anne tragically passed away at just 52 in 1974, Donna Karan and Louis Dell 'Olio valiantly took the reigns of her still-young company and grew it into a fashion powerhouse. This piece is from the Karan/Dell 'Olio imperial era, regarded as the brand's most exceptional--both creatively and in terms of the peerless quality of the garments.
