Vintage Ricardo Moura Star Man Velvet Bomber Jacket
There are jackets. And then there is this.
An extraordinary embellished velvet bomber by Star Man by Ricardo Moura — a Portuguese fashion designer known for bold, maximalist work rooted in craftsmanship and theatrical aesthetics. This jacket is a masterclass in decorative construction.
Deep royal purple velvet body, fully adorned with gold military-style braid trim running along the front zip, collar and sleeves. Black tassel fringe cascades from both shoulders. The back panel features a central medallion embroidery in ivory, gold and red — intricate floral motifs referencing traditional Portuguese folk embroidery. Navy and white striped ribbed hem, cuffs and sleeve bands add a sporting contrast that makes the whole composition even more surprising. Gold ring zip pull. Blue pinstripe lining inside.
Wearable theatre. Archive-quality Portuguese fashion from a designer with genuine vision.
One of a kind. Once it's gone, it's gone.
