Tomasz Starzewski Black Couture Coat — 1990s British Elegance

This exceptional black satin-backed crepe coat by Tomasz Starzewski represents the height of 1990s British couture. Tailored with sculptural precision, it features a dramatic flared collar edged in tonal trim, voluminous balloon sleeves, and a sleek concealed fastening that enhances its long, fluid line.

Starzewski’s work is synonymous with quiet luxury — structured yet sensual, timeless yet modern. His couture atelier in Belgravia dressed members of the British royal family, including Queen Camilla (then Duchess of Cornwall) and Princess Diana, as well as leading figures in British society. Known for his mastery of proportion and refined restraint, Starzewski’s designs continue the heritage of royal couturiers such as Hardy Amies and Norman Hartnell, updated for a contemporary era.

A true statement of minimalist sophistication, this coat captures the essence of modern British couture — elegance through craftsmanship, not embellishment.
