Historical Context

This style reflects the hybridization of varsity and glam aesthetics that defined the late-1980s fashion landscape—merging athletic silhouettes with high-shine, space-age materials. Gold-foil leather jackets of this caliber were favored by both avant-garde designers and high-end department store labels experimenting with metallic finishes.
