HISTORY
Mid-2000s, produced during Carol Christian Poell’s Vienna-based period, when the designer was intensely focused on anatomical engineering and the relationship between garment and body mechanics. Parkas and coats from this era often incorporated articulated patterning derived from orthopedic references, with prosthetic elbow constructions designed to enhance mobility while visually exposing points of stress and movement. This piece reflects Poell’s rejection of decorative surface treatment in favor of structural experimentation and functional minimalism.
