Fashion meets function
If I’m reading this picture right, this is a convertible coat from Nina Ricci SS11. It looks like the bottom half of the coat is detachable (in a vaguely Bucks Fizz ‘making your mind up’ way) leaving behind something loose, relaxed and somewhat bedjacket-y. Plus the colour palette was inspired by Christian Bérard. I absolutely love it! Day, evening, summer, winter, smart, casual, all boxes ticked. It defies categorisation and therefore, whatever its price, I deem it entirely worth it. Don’t you agree?

Wouldn't it be amazing if detachable pieces were described thusly 'jacket with Buck's Fizz feature.'

It's like that navy Burberry coat from a/w '10, with the zip at the waist which allows the bottom half to become detached. I suppose it makes justifying a multi-thousand-pound coat slightly easier if you know you're actually getting two items in one…
