Descrizione dettagliata lotto

The identical jacket was worn by Naomi Campbell in 1993 when she famously fell off her ‘Super Elevated’ platform shoes at the 'Anglomania' show (illustrated). Vivienne wore this blue jacket with the McAndreas long kilt of Lot 12 as an alternative to the tartan bodice sold with that lot (see illustration, lot 12).
