Description
History of the Model:Louis Féraud, emblematic figure of French haute couture from the 50s to the 80s, dressed many women with outfits that were both daring and sophisticated. In the 1980s, the house offered coordinated sets playing on contrasts in textures and architectural details. This model reflects this era, where the women’s suit reinvents itself to gain in lightness and modernity, without renouncing the tailoring precision that characterizes Féraud.
Exterior Details: The jacket is made from structured, slightly satin cotton, with short sleeves finished with two white tulle bands which provide subtle transparency. The round neck, four patch pockets and domed gold buttons add a formal touch typical of vintage city ensembles. The matching skirt, straight and above the knee, is decorated with a reminder of tulle bands at the hem, emphasizing the graphic coherence of the whole. The whole thing is entirely off-white, which highlights the play of materials.
Interior Details: The jacket is fully lined with a white satin fabric (polyamide and viscose), ensuring comfortable wearing and good fit. The skirt is also lined, which avoids any unwanted transparency. The finishes are clean, with invisible seams and a hidden rear zip for the skirt. An interior label specifies the composition: 51% viscose, 49% linen for the exterior.
Product Condition: The set is in very good vintage condition. There is a very slight patina to the fabric due to age, with no major visible defects. The buttons are well fixed, the stitching is solid, and the tulle inserts are intact. No notable rips or stains to report.
Care Instructions: It is recommended to have this set dry cleaned, in particular to preserve the structure of the cotton and the tulle inserts. Avoid direct ironing on transparent areas. Store the set flat or on a padded hanger to avoid severe creases.
