Jacques Heim psychedelic print silk cocktail dress. circa 1960s

About the Item
Jacques Heim is inextricably linked with the history of French fashion. In the years 1958-1962 he was the president of the highly influential Paris Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture (the central body overseeing French haute couture). A period which also coincided with the world of Parisian couture shifting to the new world of ready to wear.
Jacques Heim believed that fashion would thrive through change and adaptation.
Although he exhibited none of the flamboyance or temperament of competitors like Yves Saint Laurent, he was steadfastly modern and created designs that are smart, eclectic and of many styles yet always luxurious and elegant
This multicoloured slightly baby-doll dress constructed a raw silk material is a perfect example of Heim’s feminine and sophisticated aesthetic.

- Vintage 1950's Madame Grès Haute Couture Sculpted Silk Back-Bow Dress & JacketBy Madame GresLocated in Beverly Hills, CAGorgeous and incredibility rare Madame Grès haute couture sculpted black silk dress ensemble dating back to the early 1950's. Madame Grès 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 set has so much detail, you can tell it was made with loving devotion. The alluring bodice has a low-cut scoop neck with flattering short sleeves. My favorite designer element is the dramatic back bow with chic cut-out. The matching jacket has a shawl-like front with a stunning cropped back. I'd wear the jacket alone with other looks for a unique bolero option. The sculpted panel style skirting ,which looks incredibly hard to mold, reads so fresh to the modern eye...Category

Madame Grès 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 documented draped mocha brown gown has so much detail, you can tell it was made with loving devotion. That color pop of beige really brings this dress to a new level.
