Ralph Lauren Fall 2009 Beaded Lace Top & Silk Waterfall Skirt Set from Runway

About the Item

This breathtaking ensemble from Ralph Lauren’s Fall 2009 Purple Label Collection is a museum-quality two-piece set that epitomizes high fashion craftsmanship. Composed of a hand-beaded lace mock-neck halter top and a sculptural, three-layer silk georgette skirt with a romantic waterfall drape, this look walked the runway and was made in a spare sample version specifically for Paris. The gold floral lace top is entirely hand-embellished with delicate beads and embroidery, designed to be worn tucked or belted (as seen on the runway). The flowing ivory silk skirt is made from over nine yards of georgette, cascading with volume and movement in a perfectly tailored silhouette. This particular piece was made for model Magdalena Frackowiak, and remains new with tags—never worn and preserved in pristine condition. Originally retailing for $15,000, this is a one-of-a-kind treasure for collectors, stylists, and red carpet clientele seeking editorial-level couture.
