Sonia Rykiel
(1930 - 2016)
1965
Wool and faux fur
Gift of Mary Cantwell
Object number78.159.1
Rykiel used knit fabrics for nearly all her designs – even pantsuits. This jacket’s plush faux-fur trim belies what is otherwise an informal style: its loose fit, button-front closure, and patch pockets appear to take more inspiration from a casual cardigan than a traditional suit jacket.
