A custom made cropped tuxedo jacket worn by Madonna and Rosanna Arquette in Desperately Seeking Susan (Orion Pictures, 1985). The jacket is important in the film, as the acquisition of it from Madonna's character by Arquette's character causes the mistaken identity that is central to the plot and is also seen in the "Get into the Groove" music video. The jacquard jacket has a gold mosaic motif with black collar, lapels, and cuffs woven with a gold lamé pattern and a jet-like button closure. The back of the jacket features a trapunto gold eyelash lamé pyramid with bead embellishment surrounding the top, and a red felt banner with braided trim and hand stenciled "NOVUS ORDO SECLORUM" which translates to "The new order is dispatched." The interior pocket has a label that reads "S.Malfetano, tailor and clothier" and is inscribed "70 Cadit." Costume design by Santo Loquasto. Accompanied by a copy of the film. Categories:
