Vintage Guy Laroche Organza Print Strapless Maxi Dress & Jacket Set
About the Item
French fashion designer Guy Laroche was known for his elaborate evening dresses and tailored suits. Beloved by young Parisiennes and American fashion designers alike, he designed clothing for private clients at his Paris atelier. Not one for extremes, Laroche’s designs remained classic and pretty throughout, always showcasing his excellence as an artist and skill as a craftsman.
This vintage Guy Laroche dress and jacket set is done in cerulean blue silk organza that features an abstract print in shades of cranberry, black, white, and yellow. The strapless dress begins with a bustier neckline that frames the decolletage. The skirt falls in soft pleats from the fitted waist to a maxi length at the ankles, creating a classic columnar silhouette.
The matching short jacket is unlined, adding a sensual sheer element to the ensemble. It begins with a simple jewel neckline and angular puff sleeves that reach just above the wrists, adding a note of drama and volume to the silhouette. The jacket may be worn open or closed, allowing for versatile styling. This set is beautifully tailored throughout while the abstract print lends the fabric a pleasing visual movement of its own. A special addition to the discerning fashion lover’s wardrobe, this elegant dress and jacket are the perfect choice for an evening soiree or special occasion.

- Issey Miyake Fête Silver Grey Pleats Midi Dress, Spring 2008By Issey MiyakeLocated in Boca Raton, FLFuturistic designer Issey Miyake has mastered the technique of creating sculptural works of art in cloth. His innovative pattern cutting and signature use of micro pleating give his garments a unique form. As one of the earliest designers to take on this style of fashion, Miyake is held in high regard as a pioneer of these creative, out-of-this-world fashions. From the Issey Miyake Spring 2008 collection, this beautiful Avant Garde dress is done in a silver-grey pleated fabric. The dress presents a playful and sophisticated aesthetic throughout as the fabric is arranged in tiers of vertical fin-like folds that extend from the bust to the asymmetric hem of the skirt, creating sinuous columns that give this dress a unique visual movement of its own. The horizontal seams of the tiers are fitted with elastic throughout, providing extra stretch while highlighting the fascinating sculptural qualities of this dress. The fitted dress begins with a simple gathered neckline and incredible angular sleeves that fan outward from the shoulders in pleated arcs. The elegant sleeves hug the upper arms like a wrap or a shawl, allowing the horizontal pleats to create an unbroken line from shoulder to shoulder. Small openings beneath each arm allow for greater ease of movement while lending this dress a unique risqué element that is best appreciated when viewed from the side. Measurements: Size estimate: XS/SML Bust: 30 unstretched can stretch up to 36 inches Waist: 28 -32 inches Hips: Full Length: 43 inches The dress culminates in a magnificent bell-shaped skirt with a curving hem that falls in a spiraling asymmetric flounce below the knee at one side of the dress, adding a satisfying note of drama that balances the theatrical shoulders. A head-turning selection from the Issey Miyake Fête line, this incredible dress is meant for the spotlight and is the perfect choice for a wedding, gala, or special occasion.

- Incredible Rare Issey Miyake Pleats Please Avant Garde Color Block DressBy Issey MiyakeLocated in Boca Raton, FLFuturistic designer Issey Miyake has mastered the technique of creating sculptural works of art in cloth. His innovative pattern cutting and signature use of micro pleating give his garments a unique form. As one of the earliest designers to take on this style of fashion, Miyake is held in high regard as a pioneer of these creative, out-of-this-world fashions. From the Pleats Please line, this rare collector’s dress is done in a pleated fabric in shades of midnight blue, electric purple, red, magenta, cerulean, chartreuse, brown, sage, and neon green. The bright colors have a prismatic quality that makes the dress pop visually, giving the eye something new to appreciate from each angle while elevating this garment to a work of art. The dress begins with a high straight neckline and long sleeves that reach the wrists. The front of the dress is fitted throughout, creating an elegant sheath that falls to a maxi length several inches above the ankles. The body of the dress is done in midnight blue pleats with a section of purple at the bust and a section of neon green near the hem that draws the eye. Thigh-high slits at each side of the dress allow for greater ease of movement while introducing a welcome risqué element that helps balance the volume of material on display. Size: Small Measurements: Bust: 32 inches Waist: 30 inches Length: 50 inches An incredible panel at the back of the dress is made up of a vivid patchwork of color-blocked fabric, adding extra depth and gravitas to this Avant Garde masterpiece. The top of the panel can be folded over the front of the shoulders to create a curving, cocoon-like shawl, or folded together at the back like wings at rest. The panel spans the entire length of the dress and is slightly higher at the neck, adding volume and a delightful sculptural element to the otherwise columnar silhouette of the dress. An unforgettable addition to the discerning fashion lover’s wardrobe, this rare Issey Miyake Pleats Please dress is the perfect choice for a wedding, gala, or special occasion, and is sure to turn heads for many years to come.
