Description: This rare Istante by Gianni Versace coat from the 1980s exemplifies the house’s early, sculptural approach to outerwear. Cut in a double-breasted “car coat” silhouette with a dramatic wide shawl-style peak lapel, it features a striking split-panel tartan: a red-based plaid across the torso contrasted by complementary purple/blue plaids on the sleeves. Tailored construction and strong shoulder lines give it an architectural poise, while the iconic gold-tone buttons provide unmistakable Versace glamour. Perfect for collectors or as a standout fashion statement, this piece fuses vintage pedigree with theatrical, wearable design.
