1970s Ted Lapidus Boho Silk and Leather Dress
About the Item
Original 1970s Ted Lapidus boho shirtwaister dress. A wonderful creation by this revered designer who began his long fashion career at the House of Dior in 1951. This couture labelled 100% silk dress has an outstanding Russian peasant aesthetic with several distinct but complimentary prints. The main print features blue and red liveried Cossack riders on horse back hunting with forest animals and interspersed with a floral and cream background. The other prints are a wide floral paisley band against a white background, a dark red floral and zigzag band and a plain navy border.
Construction is complex with lots of design features including a shirt-collar neckline, shoulder epaulettes and popper fastening cuffs. The dress is lace-up and has eyelets instead of a button stand with 2 x tan suede leather ties; these both finish in a decorative leather and painted toggle and were designed to be extra long. We have styled these into a bow in the pictures but they look great left loose. To the front, there is a concealed half zip to the skirt portion of the dress for access. From the elasticated waistband, the skirt gently flares into a pleated arrangement with a centre front kick pleat leading down to the bottom hem. A braided leather belt in navy, red and tan colours completes the look.
This dress is in extraordinary vintage condition with only gentle signs of wear and no faults of any note. Would fit UK size 8 - 10, US 4 - 6 best with a petite waist.

- Documented 1982 Yves Saint Laurent multicolor striped dressBy Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, Yves Saint LaurentLocated in CULEMBORG, GEWhen Yves Saint Laurent visited Morocco for the first time in 1966 it changed his life forever. Struck by its beauty he immediately acquired a house in Marrakech and stayed there at least two times a year to design his collections. Yves Saint Laurent once said: ‘Marrakech opened my eyes to color.’ The colors of the stained glass windows and beamed ceilings of the Bahia Palace in Marrakech are a perfect example what inspired him when designing this particular dress for his Rive Gauche collection that came out in 1982. The exciting mix of vivid colors Yves Saint Laurent used designing this dress have a pattern of vertical stripes in lively red, purple indigo, apple green and Dijon yellow alternated with thin black and white stripes. Adding a pussy bow and bishop sleeves gives the entire look an elegant feel. The high quality silk is in a very good vintage condition and has been professionally cleaned and pressed. The state of this unique Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche dress is very good, only a small piece of the original mother-of-pearl button left hand button has chipped off (see the last photograph), but can be easily replaced. As you wish we can replace this with a new button without charging extra costs. The dress that was also featured in Vogue magazine in a 1982 Yves...Category
