Paris-Cut Archive

Michel Klein emerged from the French fashion system in 1981, building a career on precise, architectural tailoring that referenced the hard-line geometry of Paris couture without its inaccessibility. Born in 1958, he sold sketches to Yves Saint Laurent at age 15 and took over the house of Guy Laroche from 1993 to 1997. His jackets are characterised by clean lapel work, considered seam placement, and structural seriousness.

This jacket at S carries a close chest at 80cm — modest ease, suggesting a body-close read rather than relaxed tailoring. Length at 61cm sits at standard blazer hem position. Sleeve at 55cm provides full wrist coverage. The construction carries the hallmarks of European tailoring discipline: clean lapels, precise seaming, no unnecessary surface decoration. Condition presents cleanly for an archival piece.
