This 1980s Italian haute couture / alta moda design from Andre Laug appears to be the runway worn dress as it features some additional sewn-in tabs that indicate a collection and design number. The entirely sequined gown is unusual and we would described the tones as an artist's colour palette in that each sequin is printed in orange, yellow, green blue, black and white. The sequins slightly overlay each other like fish scales. From a distance, the sequins collude to give an almost impressionistic or pointillism look and it reminds us of the work of Georges Seurat. It has an asymmetrical neckline and the bodice has been darted with ruching the opposite side to the shoulder strap. It is a full-length sheath style that fastens to the rear with the original centre back zip and a hook and eye. It's an old runway size so best fit for a present-day UK 10 or US 6. It is backed onto an Eau de Nil silk satin and the dress is fully lined in quality acetate. It's in excellent vintage condition. There is just the tiniest amount of sequin loss very close to one side seam. If desired, there is a multitude of sequins in the hem that could be used as replacements however it is virtually unnoticeable.
