Object number2020.20.8
Yamamoto’s fall 2000 collection featured a series of warm, voluminous garments that referenced clothing worn in the Arctic. The fabric used here adds another layer to the designer’s global inspiration: the name Paisley stems from the part of Scotland where the designs were frequently produced, but those were copied from Indian imports with a motif originating in Persia.
DescriptionRed, green, pale purple and blue, black multicolor paisley tapestry jacquard pull over padded below the knee coat dress with snap on detachable hood, extra long sleeves, side seam pockets, grey liningCollections
