Elsa Schiaparelli's famous circus jacket: designed 1938

I am really influenced by Schiaparelli's designs. Particularly in this jacket not only are the colours and print beautiful but the pattern is also interesting. It features one piece sleeves that are darted at the cap. If you look at the horses on the sleeves they very carefully matched. As I have been doing the tech report I have slowly started to notice different details in jackets that I wouldn't have before.
