The Emma Coat in Black Wool-Silk
Emma Coat
The Emma Coat is a study in subtraction. By removing the collar and lapels, The Row shifts the focus entirely to the line of the shoulder and the verticality of the drape. Cut from a substantial wool-silk blend, it maintains a clean, architectural fall that resists collapse. The concealed placket reinforces this severe minimalism, allowing the coat to function as a monolithic frame for the garments layered beneath it.
