………………….The “TRENCH” has always been a source of inspiration for me. I have always been intrigued by the story of how the “trench coat” came to be. Who would ever think that a utilitary coat designed to help protect the soldiers in WW1, in the trenches, from the elements would become an ICONIC fashion statement. Every detail of the coat had a purpose and a reason for being….27 years or so later I would create the ultimate “trench coat” for my QVC Ladies……but 30, years ago I created this silk crepe de Chine trench swing dress that could be worn on its’ own, over leggings and trousers, or worn open as a swing trench topper. I would bring this design back today in a plethora of different fabrics in a New York minute….LOL
Louis, the Swing Trench Dress is FABULOUS!
I can only imagine the versions you might have designed today! Am thankful for the Linea Trench Coats I have – they are treasured.
Seka.
Amen to everything you said, Seka. I love my Linea trench coats. Although, men just don’t seem to understand why their wives might need six different trench coats! That same conversation happens with black dresses and shoes, too. Lol.
