RARE
MOSCHINO COUTURE
Jacket of Deep Navy Gabardine Heavily Embellished with White
Pearl Buttons! Worn by CANDICE BERGEN
in an episode of "Murphy Brown"! Valued
at $3,150! Donated
by Candice Bergen from her personal collection (kept after wearing
on her hit sitcom, Murphy Brown) comes this exquisite Moschino
Couture jacket! This exceptional couture
jacket is crafted in an
acetate/rayon blend
gabardine (feels SO
SOFT!!) and is heavily
embellished with white
pearl buttons in the
London Pearly King/Queen tradition (popularized by "Mary Poppins" to
those of you who don't recognize this look!) Jacket
features single large
front button closure
with ‘Moschino Couture’
imprint that matches the
various size buttons
sewn throughout the
jacket, along with
hidden snap front
closure for a perfect
fit. A red satin heart
(representing "charity") adorns the front of the
jacket, along with a red
satin circle and diamond
on the right sleeve.
‘LOVE’ is written
diagonally along the
front in a unique button
pattern. Jacket
features two front flap
hip pockets and fabulous
wide notched sleeve. In
addition to the Bergdorf Goodman on the
Plaza label, is the ‘Moschino Couture Repetita Juvant’, Made in Italy label
celebrating his company's 10 years in the biz by re-visiting some of his
favorite past designs.
Sadly Franco Moschino died the following year in
1994. This
heavily embellished
jacket is in pristine,
mint condition and shows
no wear whatsoever, with
the exception of a few
nicks on a few of the
buttons. A truly
amazing find for the
couture collector!
Measures: 36" bust, 32" waist, up to 39" hips, 24" sleeves, 16"
shoulder to shoulder. VALUED at $3,150!
