This 1960s Paco Rabanne chainmail jacket is comprised of gold-tone linked metal discs. The jacket is open in the front with no closure leaving the entire midriff bare. The discs are hand linked together one by one to create the body of the jacket. The shoulder straps are topped by big oval metal plates that have hidden hooks under them to act as closures to the dress. Another large oval disc sits at the back just above the keyhole. The bodice is square cut and the shape is almost like a gladiator's tunic. The center of the dress, with its draped gold toned aluminum chains, is the focal point of the piece. The cut out leaves your entire midriff bare and the chains add unexpected movement.
