London Series Poster 1st Edition "Eye" Paper Dress by Harry Gordon, 1968

About the Item

In the wake of pop-art during the 1960s, items such as “paper” dresses became all the rage. With a mod silhouette, and creative designs printed on, the wearer was instantly transformed into a walking piece of art. From the extremely rare, 1st edition line of Poster Dress in London, this Eye dress is created by Harry Gordon. In a sepia tone, the dress is a simplistic pinafore with the striking photograph of an eye front and center. As seen in the advertisement above, this run of dresses came with a few different artworks, many of which are retained in the permanent collections of museums such as the MET, the Kyoto Costume Institute, and the Victoria and Albert. This is an incredibly rare garment in fashion culture, and has only been opened in order to photograph. Size estimate: Small Measurements: Bust: 34 inches hips; 37 inches Length: 35 inches This poster dress is unused and in very good vintage condition. It closes at the shoulders with Velcro yet has some light discoloration due to the adhesive. High-quality vintage pieces like this are yours to live in and love while increasing in value every year. It’s never too soon to start collecting them, as an investment in your wardrobe—and in yourself.
