Vintage 1970s Giorgio Sant' Angelo Watercolor Chiffon & Suede Angel-Sleeve Dress

About the Item

An absolutely stunning and highly desirable Giorgio Sant' Angelo designer dress dating back to his 1971 spring/summer condition. He first hit the fashion scene when Diana Vreeland asked him to create clothing for a desert location shoot that starred Verushka in 1968. This shoot was legendary and his clothing were instantly sought out by all the most fashionable women on the planet. This unique watercolor tie-dye floral print chiffon bohemian beauty is a perfect example of his genius. The over-sized pointy bodice applique is made of a rich sienna brown leather suede which works so well with the chiffon. I love the easy-to-wear wrap style and matching sash belt. The striking angel-sleeves, which cleverly mirror the pointed collar design, give this garment such a playful vibe. It's the perfect piece to throw on during the day with sandals or leather boots for night. Sant' Angelo once said, "I am not a fashion designer but an artist who works in fashion engineer of color and form." A stunning slice of bohemian fashion history. Measurements Bust: 34-36 inches Waist: 29 inches (belt used to make smaller) Hips: up to 40 inches Total Length: 55 inches This rare Sant' Angelo designer wrap dress is in beautiful condition with no rips, stains or holes. Garment closes with inner tie and hidden bodice snaps. This dress is over 50 years ago yet reads so modern in the best way.

    This extremely gorgeous Lanvin Couture sheer silk chiffon dress from their 1978 fall-winter collection is a statement piece. I love the beautiful bohemian chic vibe mixed with an elegant refinement. The striped velvet trim adds the perfect amount of color to the garment. The bodice has a stunning ruffle collar with dramatic billow-sleeves. Shaped with an elastic band, the figure flattering cut adds a sophisticated blousy nature while still showcasing your waistline. Under the direction of Jules Francois-Crahay, Lanvin was a playground for imagination. This vibrant primary hues is the perfect example of this. Lanvin may be the oldest fashion house in Paris, but it has also managed to remain one of the most relevant. Through many years and many designers, it has stayed true to the vision of its founder, Madame Jeanne...

    The French fashion house Nina Ricci, known for its feminine, ladylike clothing, has long been the go-to for Parisian chic. Elegant Frenchwomen and their daughters streamed steadily through the doors of Maison Ricci, seeking debutante dresses, party frocks and wedding trousseaus distinguished by fine details and luxurious fabrics. To achieve her figure-flattering cuts, the seasoned dressmaker draped on a live mannequin, pinning and snipping with a couturier's care. This breathtaking rainbow stripe block-color gown, dating back to fall-winter 1969, is a perfect example of this brand's genius. The bodice has lean, long sleeves with an hourglass wide sash belted waist. I adore the bold primary colors and flattering bell-shape skirting.
