Deep Purple Crushed Velvet Oversized Jacket

1990s · 1990s · British

An oversized jacket in deep purple crushed velvet with black trim details. The garment features a relaxed, boxy silhouette with dropped shoulders and wide sleeves that can be cuffed. Six large gold-toned buttons run down the front closure, with additional black piping or trim creating geometric lines across the chest and sleeves. The jacket has a high neckline and appears to hit at hip length. The crushed velvet fabric creates a lustrous, textured surface that catches light irregularly. This piece exemplifies early 1990s alternative fashion with its bold color, luxurious fabric choice, and deliberately oversized proportions that contrast with the more fitted styles of previous decades.
