Emerald Silk Toreador

This piece is fashioned from emerald green silk with an overlay of gold thread and bronze metallic embroidery. Ruby-colored stones encrust the epaulets and milk glass beads add a pop of contrast and movement to the metallic fringe. Gold paillettes and bronze rives line much of the decorative detailing along with twisted gold thread which serves to enhance the lines of the garment.

The opulence of this jacket in concert with the fraying silk and tarnishing of the metallic details is just a stunning combination evoking the splendor of bygone times.
