Janet Kaneko Vintage Art Jacket Embroidery, Velvet,Silk, beading - One of a Kind

This is not just a jacket—it’s a collectible textile sculpture by renowned designer Janet Kaneko, whose one-of-a-kind creations are coveted by collectors of wearable art. Kaneko’s couture pieces were made with hand-selected luxury fabrics from Japan and Europe. Her work defies categorization: part fashion, part performance costume, part tapestry. Each garment is a wearable story—and this one, with its fierce dragon motif and extraordinary textural composition, speaks volumes. A rich burnout velvet base contrasts with bold panels of metallic brocade and pleated silk, reminiscent of Mariano Fortuny. The pleating technique also pays homage to Issey Miyake, the Japanese innovator who revolutionized heat-set pleating on silk. This piece is from a private collection and has been carefully stored. Price includes Poshmark’s AUTHENTICATION.
