F/W 1988 Claude Montana Runway Sculpted Lapel Black Coat Dress crossbody bag A rare archival runway pieceThis black Claude Montana coat dress from the Fall Winter 1988 collection is constructed with sculptural tailoring. It features a dramatic asymmetrical lapel that rises and curls into a sharp standing collar, framing a deep V neckline. The double breasted front fastens with two buttons at the waist. Long sleeves are finished with buttoned cuffs, and the body is shaped with precise seam construction that contours the waist and hips.
