Late 1980s–Early 1990s

France

A richly layered capelet from Christian Lacroix’s Victorian-inspired collections, constructed through a deliberate progression of contrasting materials: a plush dark velvet neckline and collar that anchor the piece with depth, a laser-cut shearling layer beneath that introduces lace-like perforation and sculptural weight, and three tiers of sheer black organza ruffles that bring movement, transparency, and volume to the cropped silhouette. The interplay of velvet, precision-cut hide, and floating organza exemplifies Lacroix’s couture approach to historical reference, transforming 19th-century romanticism into theatrical, material-driven fantasy.
