I first noticed Emma Stone’s perfect trench coat from the Netflix seriesManiacmany months before the show launched. Working in media and spending a lot of time looking at celebrity outfits on Getty Images (at that time it was mostly male celebs), I was privy to a lot of paparazzi photos.
But that day, a few photos of Stone on set caught my eye. In them, she’s dressed as her character Annie in a worn-out black hoodedsweatshirtand painterjeans. Over this very normal outfit, she’s wearing a marvel of amustardcoat that I immediately wanted. It looked like a 2018 version of a Columbo or Dick Tracy detective coat — I am a big fan of detective shows. Months later, after the show aired, I was reminded of thecoatagain. So, I launched my ownsearchfor the trench, which took all of ten minutes, since the show’s costume designer had posted it onInstagramand tagged designer Jesse Kamm.
“I remembered having seen a still from maybe eight months before, but the series wasn’t anywhere near coming out,” Kamm said when I called her on the phone. “Jonah is an old friend of mine, and I got really excited when I saw the billboard, but I didn’t remember that this was the thing that I had sent clothes out for. Then I sat down and was watching it, and I was like,Oh my God, there’s the trench. Sometimes you see your pieces out in the world, and you’re like,Oh, whoa, I do not need to take credit for that, but not in this case.”
The coat is officially called the Trench Mostazo (mustard in Spanish because Kamm designed it while in Panama). I planned to buy it for myself, but Kamm confirmed that they have all sold out, except for the two she keeps at home [editor’s note: the Mostazo trench has finally been restocked!]. “I have one ofevery singlething I’ve ever made. That particular piece is one I love so much that I have one in the archive and one in my closet.” Though Kamm has made this trench for eight years, most of them were made in silk and linen — Stone’s version, part of Kamm’s spring/summer ’17 collection, was actually the first to be made in a weatherproof material. This season’s trench is navy blue and alsowater-resistant.
