1970s Couture Silk Jersey Dress and Jacket With Sequin Bodice
About the Item
This 1970s turquoise silk satin jersey dress and jacket set is unlabelled haute couture having been entirely handmade in France in the early part of the decade. It is reminiscent of work by Givenchy and Yves Saint Laurent but we have not been able to attribute the ensemble. It is comprised of an ankle length evening gown with beaded embroidery, satin skirt and matching bolero jacket. The dress is sleeveless with a round neckline, deep scoop window at the reverse and princess seams to shape the bodice, which showcases some exquisite embellishment. Clusters of rocaille beads, sequins and prong-set crystal rhinestones are skilfully embroidered into an intricate floral design in turquoise, silver and azure on a marine blue chiffon overlay. The skirt by contrast is plain turquoise satin gathered in soft pleats below the waistband with concealed pockets on the side seams below each hip. The jacket is in matching satin and fastens at the front with 6 x loop hole fabric covers buttons below a V neckline. The fabric is gathered daintily at the shoulders, cuffs and hem to create a gamine feminine aesthetic and there are beautiful piped seams to trim the front, hem, and cuffs to echo the detail on the hem of the skirt. Both bodice and skirt are lined and there is a concealed zip fastening at the centre reverse of the dress. This striking ensemble is of superb quality and in pristine vintage condition, would best suit a US size 4, UK size 8.

- 1996 Gianni Versace Yellow Jacket Dress SuitBy Versace, Gianni VersaceLocated in London, GBNeon hued dress suit by Gianni Versace Couture which featured in the Spring 1996 ready-to-wear collection, Look number 50. Both the jacket and the dress are made using a beautifully soft silk, in a striking abstract design against a yellow background. The design features brushstroke-like patterns in hot pink, orange, green, white and turquoise, and really epitomises the playful takes on colour which were so favoured by Versace during this period of his career. The dress is cut in a classic mini fit and flare shape - it has a double layered bodice and structured cups for extra support, with gathered detail where the straps meet. The straps themselves tie at the shoulder, and each side features a metal and acrylic Versace medallion...Category

- 1970s Yves Saint Laurent Rich Purple Taffeta Ruffle Skirt SetBy Yves Saint LaurentLocated in London, GBWell documented, this is an absolutely classic and desirable piece of Yves Saint Laurent evening wear dating from 1978-1983. The designer revisited this look several times during the 70s and 80s and we feel that this is quite possibly an early 80s piece. In a beautiful deep purple hue of silk taffeta, this set has some lavish design details and very generous amounts of fabric in the ruffle collar and deep cuffs. The floor length skirt is full and has an unusual asymmetric ruffle flounce so that no length is equal, juxtaposing the formal blouse element. These ensembles always look great tucked in or accompanied by an original YSL rope...Category

Givenchy's trademark of sculpted lines and luxurious fabrics make his work easily recognizable. This bold jumpsuit ensemble, dating back to their 1991 haute couture collection, is a beautiful example of his brilliance. The fabric itself is a masterpiece; luxurious emerald-green and magenta-pink lined silk satin. I adore the boned strapless bodice with over-sized cummerbund belt. The flattering nipped waist met by straight-legged trouser pants create the perfect amount of drama to this timeless piece. The matching hourglass peplum jacket complete with wide lapel-collar and over-sized pockets finish this garment off with a perfect femme fatale vibe.
