1980s Louis Féraud Black Velvet & Satin Sequin Beads Embellished Cocktail Dress

About the Item

This is an exquisite 1980s elaborately beaded and sequined Louis Féraud black pure cotton velvet and vibrant coloured satin cocktail dress. The knee-length dress features an abstract designed bodice in pink, red, vibrant green, blue and purple satin that is appliquéd in beaded and sequined black stars and trimmed with various black ribbons and tassel beads. The long sleeves have a slightly gathered shoulder with small shoulder pads and bra strap fastenings. The waist nips in and the black cotton velvet skirt has a fitted pencil cut with a back vent. The dress is fully lined in black viscose satin and closes with a center back zip. It is labeled "Louis Féraud, Made in West-Germany" and tagged a DE 36 / US 6 / UK 10 / FR 38. Well made and striking! Louis Féraud opened his first boutique in the 1950s in Cannes. There he met Brigitte Bardot and after she wore one of his dresses in public, it started a run of Féraud. Later he moved to Paris where he opened a boutique in 1956. Louis Féraud belongs to the group of couturiers that are still influencing French fashion today. Excellent vintage condition.

Rare 1970's Madame Grès Haute Couture Beaded Berry Motif Navy Sheer Silk Gown
Located in Beverly Hills, CA
Gorgeous and ultra rare Madame Gres haute couture two-piece dress ensemble dating back to the mid 1970's. Madame Gres felt that the true job of the couturier was not to create a name for one's self, as many designers do, but to pay rigorous attention to the clothing. This stunning navy-blue sheer silk organza dress has so much detail, you can tell it was made with loving devotion. The bodice is a unique cap-sleeve hourglass nipped-waist design with figure flattering attached sash-belt. The sash can be wrapped around in a cummerbund style or pulled back as a waist-tie. The sparkling holly berry novelty hand-done bead work really makes this piece modern and relevant. The work itself must have taken weeks. The full swing-skirt finished this dress off with an effortless romantic vibe. Grès had an extraordinarily long career, working until the late 1980's. Through each decade, which encompassed huge changes in fashion, her work remained consistent and timeless. Any one of her elegant gowns...
