• The twin of this gorgeous suit walked the Fall 2008 runway as Look 22
• It was made under the creative direction of John Galliano
• The show celebrated the 1960s with the opening music Simon & Garfunkel's 'Mrs. Robinson'. The models were styled with a nod to the 60s but in a highly exaggerated way.
• Galliano said of the show "I am always looking for heroines who make me dream"
• The suit is made from an oversized and exaggerated black and white check in a fine wool which keeps it light in weight but has enough structure to allow it to hold its intended shape perfectly.
• The collar is edged in a black patent leather strip, and this continues down the front and all the way around the hem. It also details the ends of each sleeve, the bottom of the skirt, the tops of the pockets and is used to create a little half bow that sits just off centre of the neck.
• The shoulders are rounded and sloped with a soft feel. The sleeves fall just above the wrist and they are very wide. Each is a full 16" around by the cuff.
• The body of the jacket is cut boxy and wide for an easy fit. Two little slit pockets sit on each side and both still have their original tacking in place. 
  
• The skirt has a sleek and simple cut. It flares out as it near the hem and will sit at about the knee depending on your height.
• Both pieces are lined in a black silk. The jacket snaps to closed under the patent panel with hidden set oversized silk covered snaps. The skirt closes with a hidden set side zipper
• Both pieces are tagged at FR38, GB10, IT42, US6.
  
• Excellent condition and appears unworn.
