Padded-Shoulder Notch-Lapel Cotton Blazer

Selfridges Says: Valentino Garavani was first struck by the fashion fever on a trip to watch the opera Carmen as a child, bewitched by the show’s gilded gowns and floral arches. So, it’s no surprise the Roman house’s sumptuous collections have a certain theatricality that crescendos like an elaborate composition. Plucked from its latest offering, this double-breasted jacket is tailored with razor-sharp notch lapels and elongates your frame with padded shoulders for a note of grandeur.

• 100% cotton
