A rare and important John Galliano 'Incroyables' coat, Saint Martin's degree show collection, July 1984, un-labelled, of dark-grey herring-bone weave cotton, the over-sized frock-coat with one curved and one notched lapel, the wide sleeves with cuffs in striped moiré, the two large poacher pockets are open at the top but also with diagonal side vents for access, decorative handkerchief-like printed cotton faced panels hang above them, long centre-back vent edged in contrasting cottons, the trailing hem and tails can be buttoned-back in a variety of styles, chest approx 117cm, 46in Galliano's degree show, 'Les Incroyables & Les Merveilleuses', was something of a 'fashion moment', which launched his career. The clothes were inspired by post French revolutionary dress, which Galliano had researched at the Victoria and Albert Museum. He said of this collection: 'I was looking like this down-and-out French tramp. Living it, breathing it. Drawing by candlelight. Producing parchment paper stained with tea. Drawing with a calligraphy pen and sepia ink. I could just imagine these fantastic creatures marching, running across the wet shiny cobblestones of Paris....My show was very styled up when everyone else was being very minimalist - very Armani. The idea of these wonderful terrors tearing down aristocratic curtains and turning them into waistcoats and coats, inspired by the French Romantics'. The show took place at Jubilee Hall in Covent Garden. Each of the students showed half a dozen or so pieces each, and Galliano was selected by the lecturers as the grand finale. Joan Burnstein of leading London retailer Browns was watching in the audience. She recalled: 'The atmosphere was so exciting. Some (of the 24 or so student collections) were pretty bad. Then, all of a sudden, these wonderful pieces came out.' Galliano's rebels strode out with white eye-shadow, frizzed and disheveled hair, held in place by knitted cotton headbands with revolutionary cockades and matching waist sashes. The frilly oversized shirts were worn under patterned waistcoats with pennies used as buttons, combined with giant frock coats, riding boots or flat leather shoes with large tongues and bows. Mrs Burnstein approached Galliano after the show, offering to buy the whole collection and giving over to him the Brown's front windows. Occasionally waistcoats from this collection appear on the market (which were more easily combined into an everyday 1980s wardrobe) but very few of these swashbuckling coats seem to have been made and only two others are known to have survived - one of which was purchased at Browns by the singer Diana Ross. CONDITION REPORT: Good condition. Small green stain to rear of one lapel (minor), would benefit from dry-cleaning as slightly musty from storage. One Islamic coin button, the others mock wood. Lacking 2 buttons at hem. Printed cotton/striped moiré are fresh and good.
