Vintage 1970s Stavropoulos Couture Purple Applique Silk One-Shoulder Fitted Gown

About the Item

Gorgeous heavily sculpted Stavropoulos Couture purple silk gown dating back to the mid 1970's. George Stavropoulos was a New York fashion designer best known for his innovatively draped dresses and evening gowns that seemed to float in air. Many of his designs were influenced by the grace of classic Greek sculpture. He was couturier to celebrities such as Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor and Barbra Streisand. His gowns were made almost entirely by hand in his own atelier. Their quality and workmanship rivaled that of Parisian Haute-Couture. They were expensive, selling for up to $7500 in the late 1970's. This breathtaking royal-purple silk gown is a wonderful example of his genius. The bodice is a seductive asymmetric one-shoulder design with detailed beaded & sequin floral appliques. The metallic shimmer is stunning. I love the sculptural side construction which reads so modern. Stavropoulos ignored fashion trends and women buying one of his gowns know that it will never go out of style. Measurements Bust: 34-35 inches Waist: 28 inches Hips: 38 inches Total Length: 60 inches This Stavropoulos designer garment is in excellent condition with no rips, holes or discoloration. Perfectly working side-zipper. Only sign of age is one faint spot by the side drape which is very hard to notice. Please message for detailed pictures. This garment is over 30 years old and is truly stunning.

    By Givenchy
    Located in Beverly Hills, CA
    Givenchy, the name itself evokes glamour, refined elegance, simplicity and style. Givenchy's trademark of sculpted lines and luxurious fabrics make his work easily recognizable. This gorgeous cocktail, dating back to his 1990 Fall-Winter runway collection, is a beautiful example of his brilliance. The fabric itself is a masterpiece; liquid silk velvet in the prettiest sapphire blue color. I adore the seductive criss-cross plunge bodice with lean, long zipper-wrist sleeves. The sparkling rhinestone-encrusted side buttons create the perfect amount of drama to this timeless piece. An hourglass nipped-waist skirt with side draping finishes this garment off with a perfect femme fatale vibe. It is an exquisite example of wearable luxurious from one of the most important houses of the modern era.
