About the Item

Extraordinary strapless cocktail dress by Enrico Coveri, directly referencing the designer's Spring/Summer 1998 runway collection, as shown in Paris and documented by renowned fashion photographer Daniel Simon. This version of the look-rendered in deep black velvet-offers an even rarer and more dramatic interpretation than the white version worn on the catwalk. The dress features a sculptural, floral-inspired bustline made of voluminous layered ruffles in crisp taffeta, bursting with color in fuchsia, lemon yellow, and bright green. The bodice is clean and fitted, while the base of the dress tapers into a sleek black velvet pencil silhouette, adding luxurious weight and contrast to the exuberant upper structure. This piece exemplifies Coveri's signature playfulness and theatrical elegance, merging joyful color with couture-level craftsmanship. A true statement design, ideal for collectors, stylists, or anyone seeking an unforgettable red-carpet or editorial piece. As the dress was featured in an official runway collection and captured by a notable fashion photographer, it holds significant archival and historical value. The price listed is the final price. Any duties or customs charges are already included and remain entirely our responsibility, so you will not incur any additional costs. Shipping separately to be agreed upon. 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.

Vivetta elegant floral pattern cocktail dress
Located in Milano, IT
Romantic dress with universal and classic irony . The dress features nostalgic references such as flowers that blend with contemporary shapes and preppy silhouettes to create fresh collections full of fantasy. Her designs are inspired by her love of animals, especially cats, happy memories and stories from her childhood. Vivetta channels the charm of vintage toys, antiques and wall hangings into poetic collections with a surrealist twist. Her creations are ideas in motion that reference designers from different artistic disciplines: From Italian legends Gio Ponti and Fornasetti, to the Art Deco works of Erté, Luigi Serani's illustrations, Slim's photographs and Pablo Picasso's masterpieces. Vivetta's dreamlike drawings move to the sounds of Marianne Faithfull and Connan Mockasin, Catherine Deneuve and the Nouvelle Vague. Experimental animated films from the 1960s and 1970s and references to the creative minds of Norman McLaren...
