Carol Christian Poell AW06/07 ‘LLM/2205 KIP-PTC/2' Reversible Calf-hair Leather Bomber Jacket

  Austrian designer Carol Christian Poell is renowned for his avant-garde approach, often challenging conventional fashion norms. Often exemplified this ethos by exploring themes of displacement and alienation, Poell’s innovative use of materials and construction techniques resulted in garments that blurred the lines between fashion and art, solidifying his reputation as a boundary-pushing designer. His Autumn/Winter 06-07 “B‑sides” collection emphasized duality—akin to the A- and B-sides of vinyl records—and featuring garments constructed to be reversible. Many in that line used inner-sides sewn together or materials labeled with “-TURN” to denote this reversible design approach. This particular jacket from the collection is considered one of Carol’s grail pieces — crafted from calf-hair leather, it embodies Poell’s experimental approach to duality and construction, with sophisticated design and limited availability contributing to its high value on the secondary market.

*Add to the specialty of the jacket, this jacket supposedly was purchased directly from Ye’s (Kanye West) personal collection through his Wardrobe Stylist.. unfortunately*
