Vintage 1970's Jean Varon Green Graphic Floral Print Pleated Tiered Halter Dress

About the Item

Gorgeous graphic green print dress, dating back to the early 1970's, by the famous Jean Varon label. John Bates started the Jean Varon label in 1960 and is possibly one of the greatest forgotten talents of the 1960's and 1970's. With no formal training, he took an apprenticeship at London couturier Herbert Sidon in the late 1950's. John explains, “I called it Jean Varon because at the time an English name like John Bates meant nothing; you had to appear to be French." This eye-catching garment is constructed with layers of cascading nylon fabric which feels wonderful again the skin. Just look at the unique graphic green floral print trimming in checkered ribbon. I love the flirty thin-strap halter bodice. The skirt is a pleated tiered a-line so you get a fantastic amount of movement! This is that statement dress every fashionista looks for. Measurements Bust:34-35 inches Waist:26 inches Hips:up to 40 inches Total Length:46 inches This vintage Jean Varon designer dress is in excellent condition with no rips, stains or holes. Perfectly working back-zipper. This garment is over 50 years old and is truly stunning!

  • Vintage 1974 Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche Brown Floral Print Satin Maxi Dress
    By Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, Yves Saint Laurent
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    A gorgeous and highly coveted Yves Saint Laurent floral print maxi dress from the infamous Rive Gauche 1974 fall-winter collection. Pieces from this decade are very rare and are true examples of fashion history. The fabric is a rich brown satin viscose which is incredibly soft on the skin. I adore the low scoop-neck plunge bodice with long slightly-billow sleeves. It's definite a piece of fashion history that is wearable and comfortable, yet has its own unique avant-garde elements. "In the mid-1970s the relevance of haute couture was seriously debated. The political and social upheaval of the 1960s, the emergence of a plethora of creative ready-to-wear designers, and the increasing preference for a sportswear approach to dressing as represented by American fashion were among the shifts in lifestyles and taste that appeared to sound the death knell of the calcified and elitist world of the maisons de couture. It was at this time that Yves Saint Laurent, haute couture’s preeminent practitioner, threw caution to the prevailing winds with a collection of unrivaled fantasy and luxury."
