Colorful Geometric Women's Jacket

Her collection of her formal vests, long jackets, and floor-length opera coats are outstanding. She created patterns reminiscent of stained-glass using pieces of satin, taffeta, and printed cotton assembled with black satin piping outlines. The sophistication of the unexpected color combinations and free-form designs found a ready market in Europe as well as Mexico. Her work was included in the 2015 “Back to the 80’s Exhibit” at Canada’s Fashion History Museum in Cambridge. (see photo of exhibit) This fabulous, swing coat is one of the best pieces I’ve seen by Roberts and is an incredible example of fiber art to wear featuring various types of fabric panels including satin, velvet, and cotton bordered with multi-colored heavy threading.
