Leonard Paris Silk Floral Floral Print Open Square-Back Maxi Dress, 1970s
About the Item
Known for their unique, feminine prints and exotic designs, Leonard Paris is a staple when it comes to comfortable yet elegant designs. In a sense, every Leonard dress is a canvas on which beautiful artwork can be displayed and worn. This early 1970s dress is done in their signature silk jersey. It features a whimsical floral design with white daisies and other flowers in shades of fuchsia, rose, yellow-orange, and coral on an oyster grey ground and features the “Leonard” signature throughout. From a round neck with a dense floral border offset by pink and white stripes, the dress is in the Directoire style characterized by its defined empire waist and column silhouette. Light gathering on the skirt adds some dimension to the smooth panels of fabric while semi-puffed sleeves add volume. On the back, a deep square neckline perfectly balances the modest front of the dress. This dress offers a sense of vintage sophistication through its classic design and artistic print making it a great option as an evening look or an upscale party dress.

- JW Anderson Silk Macrame Wood Beaded Fringe Dress Runway Spring 2019By J W AndersonLocated in Boca Raton, FLBritish designer JW Anderson is a trailblazer in the contemporary fashion market. With a vast array of unique collections and collaborations, Anderson’s aesthetic offers a much-needed reorientation of fashion by combining elements of timeless tailoring and artisanal handicraft. Following this vision for his Spring 2019 collection, this macramé dress is a perfect testament to design that is both simple and complex. The bodice of the dress is a combination of white and anthracite crepe de chine. The liquid fabric drapes beautifully over the shoulders creating a mock-shawl effect while the white and grey provide a sophisticated contrast. On one of the sleeves, the grey crepe is ruched while the other is split at the shoulder. This asymmetry provides additional interest to the very geometric lattice beading on the front of the bodice. The skirt is slightly pegged and is done from a neutral linen underlayer and a macramé overskirt that incorporates wooden beading in the mix of the knotting. The skirt finishes with a band of widely spaced fringe. The combination of raw edges, wood, and natural tones, paired with the modern silkiness of the grey crepe give this dress a refreshing and serene vibe. It can be worn for a casual day dress...Category

- Givenchy Silk Green Cherry Print Cocktail Dress, 1980sBy GivenchyLocated in Boca Raton, FLBest known for his high-end, feminine silhouettes, haute couture designer Givenchy rose to international acclaim during the 1960s by creating his signature looks for actress Audrey Hepburn. Maintaining a classic romantic elegance to his designs, Givenchy began experimenting with bolder colors and pattern options around the 1980s. This dress is made from a vivid green silk that has red-violet cherries throughout. Satin spots add intermittent luster throughout. A modest neckline rounds into slightly gathered short sleeves as classic silhouette evokes Givenchy’s traditional style. The skirt includes an overlay that is hemmed with a sweeping ruffle that adds some playfulness to match the print.

- Dolce & Gabbana Runway Ad Campaign Red Mini Dress Ruched Arm Bands, 2003By Dolce & GabbanaLocated in Boca Raton, FLRed, baring and slinky, this Dolce & Gabbana minidress is designed to command attention. When it debuted in the spring/summer 2003 runway show on supermodel Gisele Bündchen, it led Vogue’s Sarah Mower to write, “power-womanhood is not extinct on planet Fashion.” And when Steven Meisel focused his lens on it for the season’s ad campaign, it became iconic—and highly collectible. Cut from a luxurious stretch viscose jersey, this LRD is crafted to drape beautifully on the body and accentuate its every move. Rather than hug every curve, it has an easy blouson top (that is even more full at the back) to leave more to the imagination and to balance the revealing deep V at its sides and the short skirt. Coordinating spaghetti straps and drawstrings funneled through a middle panel of the dress allow the wear to customize the fit and length. Wear the piece without or with the stunning ruched arm bands...Category
