‘80s Kenzo Cobalt Blue Silk Taffeta Blouse with Green Trimmed Pleated Collar
From an iconic Kenzo collection, this blouse has pleated collar frames and exploding puffed sleeves finished neatly at the cuffs. The hem is curved in the style of a tuxedo shirt, so it looks great worn loose or tucked in. She is a little wounded with some some tiny pin holes a subtle flaw in the silk on one of the sleeves but are hard to see due to the sheen of the fabric. I decided to leave them as they won’t get any worse, and add character.
This blouse makes a real statement!
