1980s Elena Pelevina Colorful Handcrafted Russian Folk Art Quilted Jacket
About the Item
This rare, stunning vintage jacket was designed by Russian designer Elena Pelevina who was most known for her handcrafted Russian folk dolls with detailed, intricate costumes. This jacket was orignally purchased by a woman, whose estate we were fortunate to acquire, who spent a lot of time in Russia on business in the 1980's. She acquired a beautiful collection of Russian pieces and this jacket is a unique treasure.
This incredible one of a kind vintage jacket is made entirely of multi colored, multi patterned strips of fabric that have been quilted together on the diagonal,horizontally and vertically. The shoulders are nicely gathered at the seams and it is fitted at the corded waist, with a pleated peplum that accentuates the silhouette beautifully. Leg of mutton sleeves and a mandarin complete the look in a style reminiscent of Yves Saint Laurent's Russian inspired collections! We especially love the gold metallic ornamental design on the back of the jacket!
There are fun, unique square buttons down the center front for closure that are each in a different, unique pattern. This could very easily be worn with a black skirt, jeans, or a nice pair of trousers that you already have in your wardrobe. This skirt was paired by the original owner with an unlabeled patchwork skirt that can also be worn as a dress. We are selling the two separately but you can view the skirt in our other 1stdibs listings.
Made in Russia in the 1980's of 80% cotton and 20% silk with 100% silk lining. We estimate this to fit a modern day US size 8, but we encourage you to always use the measurements as a guide when buying vintage clothing online.
