The transition from the curve-dominated silhouette of the 19th century to the lines and planes of the 20th owes a lot to Cubism, and while it might not have inspired the classic bomber jacket, this 1980s number is a brilliant tribute to the movement's co-founder. Featuring a Picasso print with reversible lining and contrasting fabric trim, this statement piece will turn you into an oil painting quicker than you can say Pablo Diego José Francisco de Paula Juan Nepomuceno María de los Remedios Cipriano de la Santísima Trinidad Ruiz y Picasso.
1980s Picasso Jacket | £20 | Available at our Soho store
