Behind the design
A long, softly falling outer layer gives this dark ensemble an elongated outline. The museum records three wool components and suede accessories, making the outfit a useful example of coordinated dressing. Its fall/winter 1986–87 date places it near the beginning of Karan’s own house and its emphasis on adaptable wardrobes.
