Description
Pink wool pantsuit with black silk diagonal part on the back of the jacket. The suit consists of the trousers and the jacket with four large black buttons.The tailored suit is the emblematic piece of the "Working Girl" of the 80s. Their broad epaulettes blur the limits and the differences between the two sexes. The decade is also marked by more influential and independent women who take on new and colorful trends, like Kim Cattrall's character Samantha Jones, the heroine of the cult series "Sex and the City" who wears this vintage pant suit in the late 90s, in one of the episodes.
