Lot Description
Balenciaga Haute Couture Wool Coat, c.1960

The silhouette of the coat is supported by internal layers of padding that extend down the front and back of the body from the shoulder. The padding smooths the shoulder line and widens the silhouette to achieve the famous Cocoon shape of the 1940s-60s, which Balenciaga helped to introduce.

The dress and handbag shown in the images is not included with this lot.

Black wool long sleeve coat with rolled collar, built-in sleeves, front hip slit pockets, and single button closure at neckline.
