About the Item
Though his work has only recently begun to be appreciated, Lebanese designer Jacques Cassia was a familiar face among the jet-setting haute monde in the 1960s and 70s. This dress from the early 1960s is an extremely rare example of his early work, which paid homage to Dior's "corolle" designs; sculptural, refined and elegant it is a work of fashion art.

Looped self bow at left hip and stiff self belt with rear hook at loop closure. Rear zipper closure with top hook and loop; bodice lined in acetate. Fully hand-finished.
