Bonnie Cashin's vision for Spring 1966 shows her love of texture and inventive silhouettes. This kimono inspired coat has unique angled sleeve lines, with a diagonal wrap closure that ends in an upswing hemline. All edges are bound in leather, which would have been colored to compliment her custom wool textiles. Doesn't it have an exciting look? I think it could be adapted and worn today, which is one of the amazing elements about a Cashin design.

Cashin Coat for Spring: 1966
