The Hooded Swing Coat is a 50s-inspired wool swing coat, re-interpreted with utilitarian detailing. It features an oversized hood, shoulder epaulettes, large front pockets, and a side slit with gold-tone snap closure. What if Africa were the birthplace of couture? This was the central question for our collaborative product story with Thebe Magugu, INTERSECTION. As the birthplace of Alber and Thebe, Africa is a foundational starting point for both designers and holds key aspects of luxury, such as generational craft and storytelling as core elements of its culture. For this product story, Thebe juxtaposes nu-Africa aesthetics with the notable principles of couture: classic garments are reinvented in smart fabrics, bold prints and modern, versatile silhouettes to create new hybrid shapes, intended for all women. - Oversized hood - Shoulder epaulettes - Waist belt - Front pockets - Side seam split with gold-tone snap closure - Length: 120 cm
