Tom Ford for Gucci white stretch-jersey cutout bodysuit from the celebrated Fall/Winter 1996 collection, the season widely regarded as Tom Ford’s breakthrough at Gucci. Cut from fluid ivory stretch jersey, this one-piece bodysuit combines a deep plunge halter neckline, a fully exposed back, and the collection’s signature circular cutout at the hip. The halter fastens with Gucci’s gold-tone interlocking-G hardware, the detail that both dates and authenticates the piece. Fall 1996 was the collection in which Tom Ford fused Halston’s liquid minimalism with Elsa Peretti’s sculptural gold hardware, producing some of the most recognizable pieces of his entire tenure at Gucci. The long white jersey gown built on this same language — an open hip framed by gold hardware — walked the runway on Carolyn Murphy and became the season’s waitlisted “It” dress. Decades later, Bella Hadid resurrected that same Fall 1996 gown...

A Halston evening gown from the designer’s defining chiffon period, when he was cutting silk on the bias into single, seamless lines that moved with the body rather than against it. Rendered in a soft nude-blush silk chiffon, the gown is sheer and weightless, with a deep V neckline at both the front and back and a curved, asymmetric tulip hem that opens into a center-front slit. The construction is quintessential Halston: no closures to interrupt the line, no ornament to distract from the cut itself. This is the silhouette that made his name at Studio 54 and on the arms of Liza Minnelli, Bianca Jagger, and Elizabeth Taylor — a gown built to disappear into movement. Labeled Halston at the center back neckline. As with all silk chiffon of this age, the piece should be handled and cleaned by a specialist familiar with vintage silk. A rare surviving example of Halston’s 1970s ready-to-wear chiffon output at a moment when bias-cut sheer evening wear defined American fashion. *Halston, Halston vintage, 1970s Halston, silk chiffon gown, bias cut dress, Studio 54 dress...
