Autrefois Camel Sculptural Belted Coat
Camel, cut with a sculptor’s hand. This Autrefois coat is built around its waist: an integrated band with attached ties, softly gathered shaping, and pleats releasing into an A-line skirt. Its asymmetrical stand collar and sculptural dome sleeves make the silhouette unmistakable.

Curator’s Note
It takes the familiar camel coat and rebuilds it around a sculpted waist, softly architectural sleeves, and a collar that refuses to be ordinary.
