Label Text:Rykiel’s 1960s designs showed a preoccupation for collars and cuffs. In addition to the especially slender fit for which Rykiel was known, this coat stands out for its unusual collar: slightly oversize, deeply notched, and sharply angular, it foreshadows the fashion for elongated collars during the 1970s.
