Leonard Paris Silk Floral Floral Print Open Square-Back Maxi Dress, 1970s
About the Item
Known for their unique, feminine prints and exotic designs, Leonard Paris is a staple when it comes to comfortable yet elegant designs. In a sense, every Leonard dress is a canvas on which beautiful artwork can be displayed and worn. This early 1970s dress is done in their signature silk jersey. It features a whimsical floral design with white daisies and other flowers in shades of fuchsia, rose, yellow-orange, and coral on an oyster grey ground and features the “Leonard” signature throughout. From a round neck with a dense floral border offset by pink and white stripes, the dress is in the Directoire style characterized by its defined empire waist and column silhouette. Light gathering on the skirt adds some dimension to the smooth panels of fabric while semi-puffed sleeves add volume. On the back, a deep square neckline perfectly balances the modest front of the dress. This dress offers a sense of vintage sophistication through its classic design and artistic print making it a great option as an evening look or an upscale party dress.

- JW Anderson Silk Macrame Wood Beaded Fringe Dress Runway Spring 2019By J W AndersonLocated in Boca Raton, FLBritish designer JW Anderson is a trailblazer in the contemporary fashion market. With a vast array of unique collections and collaborations, Anderson’s aesthetic offers a much-needed reorientation of fashion by combining elements of timeless tailoring and artisanal handicraft. Following this vision for his Spring 2019 collection, this macramé dress is a perfect testament to design that is both simple and complex. The bodice of the dress is a combination of white and anthracite crepe de chine. The liquid fabric drapes beautifully over the shoulders creating a mock-shawl effect while the white and grey provide a sophisticated contrast. On one of the sleeves, the grey crepe is ruched while the other is split at the shoulder. This asymmetry provides additional interest to the very geometric lattice beading on the front of the bodice. The skirt is slightly pegged and is done from a neutral linen underlayer and a macramé overskirt that incorporates wooden beading in the mix of the knotting. The skirt finishes with a band of widely spaced fringe. The combination of raw edges, wood, and natural tones, paired with the modern silkiness of the grey crepe give this dress a refreshing and serene vibe. It can be worn for a casual day dress...Category
