About the Item

You're sure to turn eyes wearing this Max Mara evening gown, circa 2006-2007, just in time for the holiday and awards season. This showstopper of a dress reflects the 2000s Max Mara aesthetic and perfectly encapsulates the 'quiet luxury' trend for timeless investment pieces. It is entirely embellished by hand and adorned allover with 2 types of metallic sequins onto a warm grey mesh. The satin finish lining is visible through the mesh and together with the magnificent arrangement of sequins, provides an elegant multidimensional finish to the dress. A plunging, but not distasteful, halter top secures the dress around the wear's neck for a party ready look. An invisible zipper closes at the middle back of the dress. In perfect unworn condition and is labelled as a UK 12 or US 10 with all tags attached. Fits true to size. Our model is a UK 8-10 and 5ft 11in (180cm) and this dress fit her well. Bought for a society wedding but the vendor choose another dress on the day; it has remained in professional storage for over 15 years. Original purchase price was close to £1700 at that time. Achille Maramotti founded Max Mara in 1951 in the Italian city of Reggio Emilia. The word Mara is his last name shortened and Max chosen to give the brand more international appeal. Max Mara was the first super brand in Italy to manufacture at scale, high-quality, women’s ready to wear clothing. This was a somewhat avant-garde idea in the Italy of the time, where fashion was still an exclusively hand-crafted activity. MEASUREMENTS LAID FLAT Bust - 30 in. (76.5 cm) Waist - 33 in.

1990s Lindka Cierach Couture Beaded Shift Dress
Located in London, GB
Late 1990s to 2000s Lindka Cierach couture beaded dress which takes some of its inspiration from the Art Deco and flapper style dresses of the early 1920s, with a distinctly modern flair. It has a lovely weight to it, reflective of both its quality and the two layers of silk satin underlay, which make it extra comfortable for the wearer. The exterior is made up of a beautiful mink/taupe shade of silk chiffon with beaded overlay, in tones of silver, champagne and gold. The beading arrangements feature geometric lines of sequins, floral and star shapes, as well as eight spoke wheel designs sewn with tiny, almost iridescent beads. The dress is cut in a classic shift shape, with a slightly dropped hem, and fastens down the centre back with a neatly concealed zip, topped off with a hook and eye closure. It is in fabulous vintage condition, with no faults to note. This particular example of her work would best suit around a size 10 UK, or 6 US but could accommodate sizes either side, depending on fit. Notes on Designer: Lindka Cierach began creating elegant outfits (prices started at £4,500) at her studio in London’s South Kensington in 1979. She rose to fame in the 1980s, after designing the Duchess of York...
