Jean Colonna vintage SS 1998 asymmetric floral partly transparent jersey dress

About the Item

Verlaine Vintage presents a Jean Colonna asymmetric floral dress from the spring-summer 1998 collection. A piece that epitomizes Jean Colonna's minimalist sensuality, this dress has an interesting asymmetric design. The left side is constructed with a regular long sleeve, while the right side is sleeveless and the neckline functions as a shoulder strap. The designer explored this concept in several of their mid-'90s collections. The piece is crafted from an unusual technical jersey (71% viscose, 21% nylon) with a floral print that would look right at home in a vintage 70s interior. Sections of the printed pattern are applied using the devoré (burnout) technique where the viscose part of the fabric has been dissolved to create beautiful transparent motifs. Pictures 2 show small portions of the fabric used for this dress as part of patchwork garments on the spring-summer 1998 runway. Made in Italy - Size - USA 4 - Italian 38 - French 34 -
