1970s graphic design · mod stripe patterns
A knee-length coat dress featuring bold horizontal stripes in coral pink, black, cream, and grey wool tweed. The garment has a fitted bodice with a notched collar and lapels, transitioning to an A-line skirt. Long sleeves taper to fitted cuffs. The front closure appears to be concealed, creating clean lines that emphasize the geometric stripe pattern. The horizontal banding creates visual weight and reflects the bold graphic sensibilities of 1970s design. A dark leather belt cinches the waist, breaking the stripe pattern and defining the silhouette. The substantial tweed fabric gives the garment structure while the stripe arrangement creates dynamic visual movement across the form.
