Rodarte Tie Dye Beaded Embroidered Silk Gown F/W 2013 Runway

About the Item

Creating beautiful clothes that channel a certain fantastic dreaminess has long been Rodarte’s calling card. Rodarte’s designs are held in permanent collections at world-class museums including The Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Founded by sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy in 2005, Rodarte has been worn by many celebrities and icons including the likes of Tilda Swinton, Rihanna, and Rooney Mara. The sisters notably designed several costumes for the Oscar-winning film Black Swan, and have won many prestigious awards including the Swiss Textiles Award, a CFDA, and a Domani Fashion Award. True to their typical whimsical fashion, the Mulleavy sisters imbued their 2013 Fall/Winter collection with a late 80s nostalgia. Inspired by their hometown of Santa Cruz, California, the collection has a distinct West coast vibe and featured an array of ethereal chiffon dresses, tulle-backed jumpsuits embroidered with angel wings, and acid-wash silks. As seen as look number 26 on that season’s runway, this remarkable tie-dye gown is among the most memorable pieces from the collection. The sleeveless dress begins with a net shoulder strap and a dramatic, angular shawl collar made from black scuba fabric that wraps around the shoulders. The nude mesh bodice is embroidered with crimson roses that are adorned with hand-sewn blue, orange, red, and black crystal beads that double as glittering stamens.

A phenomenal addition to the discerning fashion lover’s wardrobe, this beautiful gown is the perfect choice for a wedding, gala, or special occasion and can easily be styled with strappy heels and statement accessories. This 2013 Rodarte gown is fully lined in beige silk and closes with a concealed back zip. In excellent condition, it has been professionally eco dry cleaned and pressed.

Nina Ricci Couture Black Floral Devoré Silk Kimono Sleeve Caftan Dress
By Nina Ricci
Located in Boca Raton, FL
This Nina Ricci kimono is an effortless way to layer on luxury. The diaphanous beauty is designed from light-as-air black silk featuring a devoré print of gorgeous swirling flowers, vines and leaves. Many of the flowers are dressed up with black metallic accents at their centers, but those glimmering touches aren’t what truly creates the drama in this couture piece. The stunning flowing sleeves do. They rest at the wrists and then cascade down, creating a sinuous arc with the ankle-length hem. Wear the topper open at the front or fasten it at the jewel neckline, which is finished with pretty gathers that help to elegantly frame the face. Size estimate: One size fits most Measurements: Bust: Up to 40 inches Waist: Up to 40 inches Hips: Up to 45 inches Length: 56 inches Sleeve length: 20 inches Sleeve width: 30 inches This Nina Ricci couture...
