AW11 Dolce & Gabbana ‘Reconstructed’ Fur Patchwork Aviation Jacket

Dolce & Gabbana’s step into the new millennia was refreshing by all accounts. Introducing silhouettes akin to utility, the label immersed themselves under a militaristic persona. Popularized by designers like Helmut Lang, the tactical revolt provided a new take on utilitarian traditions. Incorporating luxury furs and expert tailoring, founders Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce unapologetically pushed the envelope, straying far from their classic Italian roots. In the heat of the anti-fashion movement, experiment was encouraged and Gabbana embraced it. Using their power as an established maison, the duo was able to create timeless staples, regarded as the brand’s “golden era”.

 

Debuting in Dolce & Gabbana’s Autumn 2021 collection, this incredible reconstructed aviation jacket retailled at a staggering $4500.00 USD. Constructed using a series of different wool and cotton textiles, the patchwork medium is found amidst a series of two tone cargo pockets leaching up the torso and either arm. Metallic hardware is then found just beneath the fur collar, where an adjustable belting mechanism cinches to keep the wearer warm. Tagged as a size 48 or medium, this piece comes in pristine condition throughout.
