Vintage sumptuous sleek black 1980s luxury Michel Alexis Paris power faux fur coat three quarter length
Ah you had to have one of these in the 1980s... a luxurious sleek black faux fur coat with a power look. There were many imitators at the time, and there are now, but you know if you are reading this already, the 80s ones by the likes of Michel Alexis (and Couture Helene, Apparence, Daville etc) were the best. Sadly many were mistreated because people washed them , wore them in rain, etc so their sheen has gone. But this one is in good order and the MIchel Alexis Paris label ensures its quality.
It's a one size fits all size, with a 52 inch bust, and waist and just tapers in a little at the hips to 48 inches, I am a size UK 8 and I'd wear it but it is also good for up to a UK size 18 tbh. Of course that big loose fit is in atm with modern faux fur coats but as I say they aren't the quality of this, and neither are they the same in terms of shape. This HAS a shape, in terms of a structure It doesn't hang off your shoulders and make you look crap like you're wearing a tent. This is all about power, you could wear this in the bedroom over luxury lingerie and it gives you that power look. Modern oversize shapeless ones won't do that and you know it.
If you were in to dark wave or goth music in the 1980s you DEFINITELY needed a coat like this! I was, and the quality label ones were all slightly different unlike the mod
