He is best known for designing Marilyn Monroe's wedding dress when she married Joe DiMaggio. Calvin Klein also got his start sketching for Millstein. This coat is one of his later pieces - authorized for production by Millstein in the US by Balenciaga and with their oversight. There is no size tag, but instead the former owner's name is attached inside, so I believe this was a custom made piece for that customer. This overcoat is a beautiful statement piece that would make a stylish addition to any classic wardrobe. Not many of these gems ever even hit the resale market, since they are usually passed down as heirloom investment pieces from generation to generation. This is your chance to own a piece of vintage American fashion history!
