This recognizable 90's Alaïa slim-fit viscose ribbed knit celadon mini dress is designed to flatteringly follow the line of the silhouette. The runway dress presented at the 1990-1991 Alaïa's Fall-Winter fashion show (look 74, see picture 8) was almost identical except for a few details such as that it was not ribbed. This unlined piece nips in at the waist and features a contrasting "mini-ribbed" scoop collar, wrists and hemline (see pictures 3, 9 & 11). Labeled a size M, the stretchy fabric will easily accommodate a small L size as well. Made in Italy. Worn in a different colorway by Nicole Richie during her book signing “The Truth about Diamonds” at Virgin Megastore in New York (see pictures 4, 5 & 6), the same dress was seen on Margot Robbie in the infamous “nursery scene” in The Wolf of Wall Street film (see pictures 12 & 13).

This is an exceptionally rare and iconic gown from Thierry Mugler’s Fall 1984 runway collection, L’Hiver des Anges. Crafted in radiant gold silk lamé, the design is inspired by celestial beings—angels, saints, and the Virgin—capturing the divine drama that defined Mugler’s early aesthetic. The gown features a powerful silhouette with sharply sculpted, exaggerated shoulders and intricate pleating that radiates outward in a starburst pattern from the waist, creating a sense of movement and light. It cascades into a long, elegant train, with a metallic sheen that catches and reflects light like molten gold. As one of Mugler’s most recognizable masterpieces, this dress has appeared in several major fashion exhibitions, including Thierry Mugler: Couturissime, Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination...
