  • AUTHENTICITY
A fabulously bold three-piece ensemble from the Spring 1984 collection of James Galanos — the kind of maximalist, powerfully silhouetted piece the designer's calling cards are built on. The jacket, skirt, and scarf are cut from an ultra-fine silk chiffon jacquard in a vibrant purple plum, printed with a funky geometric animal motif and a raised spotted jacquard texture. The longline jacket is arranged in meticulous vertical hand-pleats down the front, back, and arms, with iridescent violet and semi-transparent white acrylic diamond beadwork mirroring the chiffon's geometric cobblestone motif at the collar, cuffs, hem, and down the center front, concealing the zipper closure; self-fabric lined, with light shoulder pads. The knee-length skirt sits at the high waist with top-stitched pleats that release where the jacket's longline hits, unlined, with a side zip and hook closure. The scarf was styled to drape around the neck on the runway, though it works equally well as a headscarf — we've included photos of both options. In good vintage condition, with imperfections noted: light magenta-tinged fading at the jacket's arms and shoulders, yellowing throughout the self-fabric lining (not visible from the exterior), and slight fraying at the skirt's top-stitched pleats; the beadwork remains fully intact.
