Introducing a complete one-of-a-kind, unique and 1980s sheer metallic cocktail blazer - belt also available separately in our Accessories section.
Sourced from the United States, this exceptional 1980s piece captures the high glamour and daring sophistication of the decade’s eveningwear. Designed with a lightweight sheer black base, the blazer is richly adorned with abstract metallic threadwork in a tri-tone palette of gold, silver, and bronze. The intricate embroidery forms fluid, freeform patterns reminiscent of abstract expressionism, creating a striking interplay between opacity and transparency.
The silhouette features structured shoulders with internal padding for a defined shape, lightly tapered sleeves with buttoned cuffs, and an A-line body that can be styled belted or worn loose. Double gold-tone gill buttons at the front and matching crossbody fastening enhance its sculptural quality. Two front pockets add functionality while maintaining the garment’s luxurious aesthetic. When cinched with a belt, it transitions seamlessly into a cocktail dress — an embodiment of 1980s high-glam dressing, echoing the statement silhouettes seen in the collections of designers such as Yves Saint Laurent.
The metallic palette and sheer composition make this an outstanding option for evening wear, effortlessly styled with sheer tights, heeled boots, and a structured clutch for a refined finish.
