Australian brand Alquema are renowned for their wonderful use of pleating and choice of fabrics for their hand made garments and this beautiful, lightweight coat is the epitome of their skill. In a fabulous steely blue colour, which is so striking, this coat is as light as air and endlessly expressive. Bringing sculptural elegance to everyday layering, it is crafted from hand-pleated chiffon, and features the brand’s signature zigzag pleating and collar, offering texture and movement in every step. The addition of long sleeves makes it a refined choice for day-to-night dressing, while being a stand alone piece in its own right. Pair with the matching dress for a dynamic duo ready for any occasion such as a wedding or a day at the races or wear more casually over silk or linen or even denim to add a floaty and stylish element. However you choose to wear this piece, compliments will flow and rightly so!
