c1975 Thea Porter Couture Black Silk Velvet 'Chazara' Jacket designer-oleg-cassini The re-issued ones were doneThese jackets were a Thea Porter signature and were introduced into her collections in 1975. The name 'Chazara' came form a type of butterfly and they were made in a multitude of fabrics and colors. Here we have a beautiful and deceptively simple version in an inky black silk velvet.
