Paul Daunay Couture silk and wool dress and coat ensemble, c. 1952-57
About the Item
Presenting an exquisite and exceptionally rare Paul Daunay couture fall daytime ensemble, a true gem hailing from the era of circa 1952-57. This ensemble is a stunning showcase of artistry, boasting a captivating brown and ivory wool fabric adorned with an art deco-style print, epitomizing elegance and sophistication.
The ensemble comprises a tailored coat, meticulously designed with hidden button closures, fitted sleeves, and a turn-over collar, exuding timeless refinement. Lined in luxurious brown silk, the coat offers both style and comfort for the discerning wearer.
Complementing the coat is a silk dress with a high neckline and slightly puffed shoulders, adding a touch of grace and femininity. The ensemble is further enhanced by a matching waist belt, adorned with large tassels, and a drop waist skirt in the same alluring art deco print.
Paul Daunay garments are a rare treasure, with only a fleeting glimpse seen once in the Palais Galliera's Fifties fashion exhibition, where they were showcased alongside esteemed masters such as Christian Dior and Cristobal Balenciaga.
This haute couture ensemble serves as a remarkable example of the genius designs prevalent in the 1950s, a golden era of fashion craftsmanship. Prepare to be captivated by the allure of this Paul Daunay masterpiece, a true collector's dream and an enduring testament to the sophistication of haute couture.
