1980s Angelo Tariazzi Oatmeal and Gold Embellished Jumper
Late 1980s to early 1990s knitted jumper designed by French luxury label Angelo Tariazzi. Woven from pure wool, it is super-soft and has a tight, smooth weave, ribbed at the cuffs. Cut to an elongated, tunic-like length, the bottom hem has an exaggerated ribbed area - a detail popular in the 1980s as it creates the era’s beloved blouson, batwing fit to the top. Varying tones of pale ecru, brown and beige thread result in a soft, go-with-everything taupe colour overall. The neckline is collared and is adorned with gold-tone rectangular studs which also run the length of the shoulders and around the top of the sleeves. Three large pearlescent brown buttons secure the polo-style neckline. This jumper is unlined.
This piece is in excellent vintage condition. The outer fabric is 100% Wool. There are no other labels remaining in the sweater but this is a super flexible size; it will be oversized on sizes S-M and be more fitted on sizes L-XL. The fabric has some stretch so please allow a degree of flexibility on the below measurements.
Notes on Designer: Angelo Tarlazzi was an Italian couturier who specialised in evening wear before moving to Paris in 1965 to work with Michel Goma at Jean Patou. He rose to become creative director of the house and in 1977 he created his own ready to wear line. Guy Laroche appointed him his successor in haute couture from 1989 to 1993 and from 1995 to1 998 Angelo Tarlazzi was artistic director in charge of design for the Paris house of Carven. He continued to design for his own House throughout his long and distinguished career.

Will you set anything aside for me before I come?
We are happy to find anything you may be interested in from our website - please let us know a week in advance.
We also have an extensive offline collection. If you let us know your size, style, favourite colour to wear and perhaps your budget, we can browse through our archive in advance of your appointment.
Do I need to bring anything with me?
Clients may wish to bring modern shapewear when trying on garments from certain eras, especially the 1950s. Vintage clothing was often worn with undergarments that shaped the waist and as such is tailored for them.
We have a huge variety of slip dresses and petticoats to complete your look; many of which are also for sale.
You may also wish to bring your favourite footwear. We often find a classic pair of nude shoes work well when trying on, or a pair in gold or silver.

Many of our lower-priced pieces (under £150) are not available to buy online. Our prices range from £80 - £600 for separates. Dresses start at around £150 and go up to £2,500 for the very best antique pieces and designer vintage. Our bridalwear ranges from £300 - £3,000.
