Black Synthetic Gabardine Double-Breasted Suit

1980s · 1970s · British

A black synthetic gabardine suit featuring a double-breasted jacket with wide peaked lapels characteristic of 1970s tailoring. The jacket displays a fitted silhouette through the torso with structured shoulders and a defined waist. The double-breasted closure creates strong vertical lines down the front. The garment appears to be constructed with precise tailoring techniques, showing clean edges and sharp lapel points. The synthetic gabardine fabric provides a smooth, matte finish with enough body to maintain the structured shape. This represents Biba's interpretation of menswear-inspired suiting for women during the glam rock era, when androgynous styling and bold silhouettes dominated fashion.
