Suede Trenchcoat: The Boho Piece from the 70s is Making a Comeback

The trench coat originally originated during World War I and was worn by soldiers. It is a direct descendant of the waterproof coats designed by Scottish chemist and inventor Charles Macintosh and British inventor Thomas Hancock in the early 1820s. In Hollywood, the trench coat was then embraced and transformed the image of the officer into that of the mysterious detective or femme fatale, earning its place in the world of fashion. It was seen on screen on Audrey Hepburn in „Breakfast at Tiffany’s“ and on Humphrey Bogart in „Casablanca,“ among others.
Gucci, Spring/Summer 2015
The suede trench coat first gained popularity in the 1970s; in the 2010s, the garment experienced a small comeback, thanks in part to Gucci. In spring/summer 2015, the fashion house introduced a brown suede version of the classic trench coat. Now, it seems that the trench coat is gaining popularity again in the Boho Chic trend – thanks in particular to Chemena Kamali, who designed a range of Seventies silhouettes in her first collection for Chloé.
