Full straight mannish ¾ duster with kimono sleeves. Lapel collar, insert pockets, no fastening.Straight mannish jacket with lapel collar, side slits, insert breast pocket, no fastening. Padded shoulders, kimono sleeves.

On the catwalk the ensemble also included a white collarless crossover blouse.
For spring ’84 Italian fashion features full flat shapes, shoulders all the broader and padded. While in essence perfectably wearable clothes for upper middle-class career women, they also begin to reflect the new looks shown a year earlier by the Japanese designers in Paris. Ferré, an undisputed protagonist of the “Made in Italy” phenomenon, presents the new trend with (among others) items such as this: a soft mannish outfit in a simple gray gabardine. Actually, the style of the blouse/jacket/duster mix creates a kimono effect heightened by the broad belt capturing a Western idea of the obi. The interplay of contrasts – East/West, masculine/feminine, casual/chic – makes for a new take on the pantsuit.
