Designer Andre Courrges with models wearing his designs, photo by Andr Courrges IAIN CLARIDGE An Andr Courrges Pant Suit numbered 0514895 and 579326 Taty Style Andr Courrges Haute Couture Skirt Suit In Black Wool Circa 1968 1975. Andre Courreges pushed the envelope when it came to design and even amongst the many pieces of Courreges I have seen this is a stand out. The design and use of drawstring ties to create shape on this suit is so very cutting edge for the time and to be quite frank, still feels cutting edge for right now. This two piece pant and jacket set is in a chic black lightweight wool fabric that has a tiny ribbed texture running through it. The pants are incredible each is cut straight and tailored and then just below the knee a drawstring cord runs through a loop all around the pant leg and you cinch it. The remainder of the pant leg flares out below this and above you get a puffed effect. They are just spectacular! I love the jacket equally it has that perfect seventies vibe to it with his signature chunky silver zipper and silver toned metal buttons. Big flap pockets sit on each side of the chest and ties run through each side so you can cinch in the waist to add shape or wear it more boxy. Its a tunic style and slips on with slits on either side of the hip. It is of course great as a suit but you have that extra versatility of being able to break it up and wear them separately as well. Excellent, appears never worn, museum quality condition. Both pieces are fully lined in a black silky rayon. The pants close with a hidden set zipper and button at the waist. The jacket slips on like a tunic with a zipper at the neck and partial drawstring waist. Both pieces are tagged a Courreges B.
