RIFAT OZBEK Spring 1992 Vintage Documented Boned Jacket

Boned jackets and vests from Rifat Ozbek's Spring 1992 collection belong to the designer's most iconic pieces and are instantly recognizable. They were heavily featured in editorials and are a celebrity's favourite. Crafted from a black crêpe fabric, the collarless uniform style jacket features a cropped cut with a boldly "boned" front with 19 large artificial bones with silver-tone metallic ends placed diagonally to either side of the zipper. Padded shoulders, straight long sleeves, golden cuffs with metal trimming. 62% acetate, 38% rayon. Fully lined in 60% acetate, 40% rayon. Made in Italy. Céline Dion wears an identical jacket on the cover photo of the Japanese edition of "Think Twice" (1994). Amber Heard wore this jacket at a Los Angeles event in September 2012. Various reference photos featuring this style or similar ones are available upon request. A version of this jacket is held by the V&A Museum London.
