This little Azzedine Alaia piece that is from one of his more recent collections

At the neckline is a bib of fringe work  and the fringes also edge each short sleeve

1980s Patrick Kelly Leopard Print Sleeping Blanket Coat designer-paco-rabanne This little Azzedine Alaia pieceKelly only designed for a 5 year time period but his designs still have an impact now. His early death at the age of 35 was a true loss and one has to wonder what greatness would have lay ahead of him had he had the chance to continue perfecting his craft. I love when I find his pieces and this coat is rather exceptional. He threw a leopard print into several of his collections and it became a bit of a signature. This coat is a fabulous piece whose
