A design steeped in history

The One Star version pays homage to this legacy while adding a contemporary twist. The star-studded shoulder epaulettes, metal rivets, and asymmetrical zipper are signature details that nod to the original design, ensuring this blouson remains a timeless piece.

The asymmetrical zipper closure adds a touch of edginess, while the zipped expansion pleats at the wrists and button-press fastenings at the shoulders and collar ensure a snug fit.
