Chris von Wangenheim stages a downpour for “Real Raincoats,” a 1970s editorial about the latest rainwear — including a new Vogue Paris Original by Yves Saint Laurent.
The pattern is Vogue 2814, all three pieces made in “curry-colored” Kodel [poly]-cotton with water-repellent coating by Avila Fabrics, with the lining in brown and white cotton tattersall Madras from Far Eastern Fabrics.
