Jean Patou

I’m procrastinating a trip to the post office, so I decided to share some pretty for your enjoyment.

I have a thing for red suits and I think Jean Patou did too. I don’t know much about the designer yet, but I have a growing file of his work.

These are from L’ Officiel, you can find the archives of this wonderful magazine here. Man I wish I could read French sometimes!

Which one is your favorite? I can’t decide, though I am drawn to both the red with the leopard fur ensembles.
