1970s Moss Crepe Ossie Clark Suit
This is an iconic design from Ossie Clark that you can find in a couple of color ways - I had had a near twin to this in the past but I think this one is in even better condition! I love the subtle sexiness of the suit - the "waved" front allows for a peek of skin to come through if you wish to wear it with nothing underneath. The pants have that amazing notched front to the their wide flared cut so when a girl walks you get an flash of shoe and ankle - a bit of a play on the Victorian era and a classic Ossie way bringing in an element of the past with a genius twist to make it timeless. The pants are flat fronted and curve and skim over the hip till the flare at the bottom. The jacket is cut skinny and sexy with a bit of a flare at the hip to balance the pant. Classic Ossie at his best and an iconic design! Excellent condition!
