"We celebrate the silk coat - the height of fashion and of luxury, the newest possession, almost the summer equivalent of mink. The cut is very big, completely covering a day-length dinner dress, making for much rustle and movement."
All three coats are by Traina-Norell. The solid black is silk faille and the polka dotted coats are silk taffeta. All three hats are by John Frederics. Photographed by Richard Avedon for Harper's Bazaar.
