Rare 1965 Courreges for Samuel Robert Special Collaboration Muted Metallic Gold Jacket Coat designer-paganne and then the dress fallsThis coat represents an unusual little piece of fashion history. In 1965 Andre Courreges designed a line of pieces for Samuel Robert. For whatever reason this collaboration only lasted that one single year which makes pieces from it extremely rare. When researching this we found a picture of Jean Shrimpton wearing a suit with a similar front double button cut that was also made for this line. I love finding these unusual little pieces of history and
