About the Item

This Jean-Louis Scherrer Haute Couture dress, designed by Stéphane Rolland and presented as look #27 in the Fall-Winter 2005 collection, is tailored in a blistered purple and silver lurex brocade with a dimensional jacquard weave. The full-length silhouette features a high funnel neckline, bishop sleeves gathered into extended cuffs, and a seamed waist accentuated by a built-in belt. The belt is centred by an oversized circular buckle encrusted with claw-set multicoloured glass stones in oval, square and marquise cuts - rendered in citrine orange, peridot green, amethyst purple, aquamarine, and pink tones - set in a gold metal frame. The asymmetrical front closure is finished with a diagonal row of oversized domed buttons, each formed as a radiating cluster of topaz-coloured faceted glass in gold-toned metal settings. Matching smaller buttons are applied to the cuffs. The skirt is softly flared and shaped through vertical panelling and back darts. Fully lined in silk, the dress exemplifies Rolland’s couture vocabulary, combining sculptural form with ornamental embellishment and drawing on 1970s couture precedents. ▪ Brand: Jean-Louis Scherrer ▪ Creative Director: Stéphane Rolland ▪ Collection: Look 27, Haute Couture, Fall-Winter 2005 ▪ Fabric: Silk ▪ Size: approx.
