1950s Lilian Jacket - End of Line

This jacket and its matching skirt pay homage to the famous Dior's 'New Look' of 1947. The 'New Look' hailed a completely new silhouette and become the iconic 1950s wasp waist and full skirt shape of the decade.

1950s Lilian Jacket - End of Line

The final chapter for a Foxy classic. Our beautiful Racing Green New Look Jacket is now at the end of the line.

Inspired by Dior's revolutionary ā€˜New Look’ of 1947, this supremely elegant jacket celebrates the dramatic silhouette that came to define 1950s fashion: strong shoulders, a tiny-looking waist and beautifully emphasised hips.

Our Racing Green has been a particularly striking interpretation. Deep, rich and wonderfully sophisticated, it's a timeless heritage green that works beautifully with the sculpted tailoring of this jacket. With the last remaining pieces now available, this is your final chance to own this special colourway before it disappears from the Foxy collection.

The magic is all in the cut. Subtle shoulder pads create a strong, elegant shoulder line before the jacket draws sharply into the waist and sweeps back out into a structured peplum, creating that coveted wasp-waisted New Look silhouette.

A deep plunging neckline rises slightly at the back to hug the neck, while seven fabric-covered buttons run neatly down the centre front. Long sleeves and a fully lined interior complete this beautifully tailored piece.

Pair with our 1950s Premium Circle Skirt for the full sweeping New Look effect, or team with high-waisted Hepburn Pants for a fabulously sharp trouser-suit alternative.

A beautifully tailored piece of Foxy history in one of our richest vintage shades. Racing Green is now leaving the collection, so once the remaining jackets are gone, they're gone.
