About the Item

This rare couture dress by Italian designer Angela Gavioli, created for Luciano Pavarotti, embodies the theatrical elegance and opulent artistry that defined her collaborations with the Maestro during the 1990s. The dress features a fitted, ruched bodice in deep red taffeta with fine black striping, balanced by a spectacular voluminous skirt made of oversized, pleated ruffles in layers of red and black organza. The sculptural flower-like motifs and interplay of textures create dramatic volume and movement, evoking stage costumes yet perfectly suited for red carpet or editorial use. Gavioli, known for her work with Pavarotti in productions and high-profile musical events, infused her garments with operatic flair and romanticism. While this specific piece appears to be a unique couture creation not tied to a particular opera, its craftsmanship and silhouette reflect the grandeur of the lyrical world. The quality of construction and materials is consistent with Gavioli's custom work for stage, gala performances and televised concerts. Fully lined with a concealed side zipper. In excellent condition. Please note: The measurements you find are flat measurements of the dress. To ensure the right fit, we suggest trying on a similar garment and comparing its measurements to ours.
