Suit

French

Not on view

This suit represents the quintessential style of the 1920s and marks a transitional moment in fashion, as the silhouette changed. Perhaps the most defining characteristic is the large, standing and wrapping collar, also known as the "chin chin collar." Collars such as this were given this name as a reference to similar Chinese styles. This is a very high quality piece, complete with refined lining and detailed buttons.
