The late 1980s were a pivotal time in European fashion. A number of significant designers, including Jean-Paul Gaultier, transformed the silhouette of women's day clothes from the short, boxy styles of the early 1980s into a longer and more fluid line. This particular outfit shows the influence of men's tailoring on women's fashion that was a defining style throughout the 1980s.
