1958 Jean Dessès Haute Couture Documented Pink Ruched Silk Chiffon Goddess Gown
By Jean Dessès
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
An absolutely breathtaking, well-documented Jean Dessès attributed pale pink ruched silk-chiffon goddess gown dating back to his 1958 spring/summer collection. This incredible dress was sold at Gandini which acted as a couture retailer authorized to sell Paris haute couture for clients who couldn't travel to Paris for multiple fittings. Along side Christian Dior and Chanel, Jean Dessès is one of the most important designers of the 20th century and was a designated Haute Couture house under the official Chambre Syndicale de la Couture. Fashioned from exquisite pale pink silk chiffon, this beauty has everything you look for when searching for this designer. The one-shoulder nipped waist bodice has fully boned corsetry with intricate hand pleating. The hourglass nipped waist flows into yards and yards of additional hand-pleating. This work must have taken weeks to complete. My favorite design element is the asymmetric draped backside. So glamourous! The craftsmanship is simply amazing; the concept reads so modern and looks sensational when you walk. A gorgeous one-of-a-kind custom couture gown that would definitely make an unforgettable bridal or red carpet look.

1960 Jean Desses Haute-Couture Strapless Red-Roses Floral Satin Trained Gown
By Jean Dessès
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
Jean Desses couture garments are rare, unique and highly collectible. This exquisite gown dates back to 1960 when Jean Desses housed his couture at the famous 17, Avenue Matignon address. According to the provenance, it was custom made for Jean Dessès client, the Argentine & Parisian socialite Mme. Erna de Paz Ortiz Basualdo, and is therefore one of a kind. Fashioned from exquisite flocked red roses floral silk-satin, this garment has everything a woman wants. I adore the low-cut plunge corset strapless bodice with a double sided self-fabric panel which can be flipped up as a shawl-wrap! According to Ann Poulon in the Oxford Art Designer Entry, “Dessès often incorporated convertible elements into his collections, such as necklines that could be adjusted, or boleros that appeared as though they were one with a dress, but could be removed in a more formal setting. He also made aprons [attached on both the front and the back of dresses and gowns] that doubled as capes, and removable overskirts that allowed the gown to range from dinner wear to evening wear.” The workmanship and time spent to construct this red carpet show-stopper is astonishing and it is a true piece of museum quality fashion...
