Sonia by Sonia Rykiel interprets the Urban Safari trend in its singular Parisian way with this stunning Trench Coat. With a dash of military influence in the button flap chest pockets and a sprinkle of vintage glamour in the puff sleeves, this versatile layer is a true original. This coat consists of a smooth cotton blend and has a fitted bodice with covered double-breasted button closures. A tie belt at the waist and skirted bottom with unique pleat detail and pouch pockets make this coat unlike any other we've seen. -

The Fashion designers of the past ninety-two years all seem to be of one mind when it comes to the subject of the trench coat: it needs to be re-designed every four months. Years have passed, but still the garment has not reached a final state; meanwhile the rest of us only get one shot at a first impression. It is no matter whether the one who wears the trench coat is an actual trench-dweller or simply one who rides in elevators all day; the designers all have their opinions regarding the fluctuating number of straps and 'D' rings. There has been no end to the amount of cleverness applied to the re-treading of the garment and through the years we have been treated to doggy trench coats and lady's evening gowns cut to resemble trench coats. -
