About the Item

Captivating and vivacious, Leonard prints always add an element of fun to fashion. Their outrageous prints have become historic and are not only the source of brand identity but also an avenue to bring joy to their wearers. Capturing the groovy 1970s with an oriental twist, this Leonard dress boasts a swirling geometric print in vibrant colors of navy, maroon, and orange, complemented by bright shades of neon purple and golden yellow. Done in Leonard’s signature silk jersey, this tunic dress features an oriental inspired print that is framed with a geometric design at the collar, cuffs, hem, and center front placket. The bodice begins with a high collar and long blouson sleeves that extend past the wrist with a ball button closure at each cuff, giving this dress more of a formal feel. A separate, accompanying sash of the same fabric may be cinched at the waist to create a more fitted silhouette, making this dress a versatile addition to any wardrobe. Size estimate: Small Measurements: Shoulders: 13 inches Sleeves: 29 inches Bust:32-34 inches Waist; up to 32 inches (belt to cinch) Hips; 34 inches Length: 34 inches There is a revealing opening beneath the collar and below the nine ball button closures in the middle of the front placket. The dress falls to a mini length at the upper thigh, and can easily be styled with a pair of silk jersey pants or a slip dress, making it the perfect choice for a cocktail party or evening walk on the beach. An excellent addition to the discerning fashion lover’s wardrobe, this mini dress exudes the languorous chic that Leonard is known for and can be worn as resort wear or a bathing suit coverup. This Leonard Paris tunic dress is unlined and has fabric covered ball button closures at the cuffs and along the center front placket. The print is signed ‘Leonard’ throughout. In excellent condition, save for some discoloration on the tag only, it has been professionally eco dry cleaned and pressed. High-quality vintage pieces like this are yours to live in and love while increasing in value every year. It’s never too soon to start collecting them, as an investment in your wardrobe—and in yourself.

Vintage Leonard Paris Printed Silk Mini Dress / Tunic & Pants Set 1970s
By Leonard of Paris
Located in Boca Raton, FL
Synonymous with luxury and innovation, Leonard Paris is collected for its unique prints, like the one found on this dazzling three-piece set from the 1970’s. The kaleidoscopic print has an oriental feel, incorporating flowers such as camellias and chrysanthemums which have traditionally been embroidered on kimonos in Japan. The multiple patterns form a rich canvas for this ensemble, and is a grand example of designer Daniel Tribouillard’s artistry and love of flowers. Done in a black silk jersey, the tunic begins with a high mandarin collar with cloth button closures, bringing some structure to the otherwise lounge-like feel of this set. Falling several inches above the knee, this tunic can easily be worn as a mini-dress, the beautifully draped kimono sleeves adding a flair of drama while allowing for greater ease of movement. The matching ankle-length pants have black piping down the sides and are tailored to perfection with a straight waistband, pockets, and front pleats, ensuring a slender fit. An accompanying belt of the same fabric may be worn tied at the waist, completing the elegant wrap style silhouette of this ensemble. The collar is done in print of small jewel-colored flowers and leaves, bordered by stripes of black, light pink, and magenta. This pattern repeats a second time in a concentric circle below the collar, elongating the neck. A pattern of pink whorls and large pink and black chrysanthemums winds its way through the body of the tunic, punctuated by bursts of blooming flowers with turquoise centers and red stamens, surrounded by clusters of magenta leaves. The kimono style sleeves are done largely in a red honeycomb pattern on a black ground with a small flower set in the center of each hexagon, while a contrasting print of black and pink flowers on a woven ivory ground is set down the side of each sleeve in a narrow band, emphasizing the line from the shoulder. The lower half of the tunic brings balance to the intricate medley of color above the waist, with evenly spaced rows of jewel-colored camellias on a black ground offering a stunning contrast with its use of negative space.

Pauline Trigère Abstract Floral Print Cotton Kimono Angel-Sleeve Dress, 1960s
Located in Boca Raton, FL
Pauline Trigère was a prominent figure in putting American designers on the map. Like many of the acclaimed French couturiers, she was an expert at tailoring and had an eye for interesting volumes. However true-to-form of the American aesthetic, Trigère designs are known for their relative simplicity and elegance through ease. From the late 1960s, this magnificent dress is a fine example of why Trigère’s designs were so beloved in Hollywood during that period.
