1980s Travilla Leopard Print Sequined Skirt Suit – Size 12

Product Description:

Vintage power dressing never looked this unapologetic. This rare 1980s leopard print skirt suit by legendary designer Travilla is pure statement dressing with just the right amount of Studio 54 energy.

The jacket features puffed sleeves, strong shoulders, and an elongated silhouette with bold sequin paneling scattered throughout the animal print. Fully lined with a single-button closure, it’s tailored without being restrictive. The coordinating skirt is high-waisted and structured, finishing just above the knee with a classic hemline. The fabric is a drapey synthetic blend with a subtle sheen—lightweight and breathable, yet substantial enough to hold shape. Fully lined. Buttons are plastic.

About the Designer:
William Travilla (1920–1990) was a costume designer turned fashion powerhouse, best known for dressing Marilyn Monroe, including the iconic white dress from The Seven Year Itch. A multi-award-winning Hollywood figure, Travilla brought his dramatic flair to the ready-to-wear world in the 1980s, blending screen-worthy glamour with wearable silhouettes. His namesake line became a staple among women seeking elevated statement pieces.

This two-piece set is ideal for cocktail parties, red carpet events, and editorials—or break it up for street styling. Throw the jacket over leather pants, or wear the skirt with a vintage tee and boots for unexpected balance.
