Carol Christian Poell, who was born in Austria in 1966, lives and works in Milan, where he started his clothing brand in 1995. He does not work within the classic fashion cycle but rather produces and shows when he feels like it. Poell, who has developed a cult following around himself, is widely considered one of the most important and influential designers in the avant-garde and artisanal fashion world. Especially his use of leather and tailoring are revolutionary and highly desirable among collectors.
This blazer is a great example of the latter. It is a one-buttoned, single-breasted blazer from the male 2009 collection. The fit of the jacket is rather slim, with small lapels and two symmetrical flap pockets at the front. What makes this extremely rare piece unique, is its subtle combination of two different patterns, which can be seen in some of the pictures. The lower part of the jacket is in a darker grey with more prominent pinstripes than the rest of the fabric.
The individual Poell code is GM/2320 MORPH/9 which means that it is a one-buttoned blazer, in the grey color 9, made from a Ramie and cotton blend. It comes with its original rice bag.
