Bolero in lamé embroidered with gold plates by Louis Féraud Couture - SS 1997
By Louis Feraud, Louis Feraud Paris
Located in Toulon, FR
Spring-Summer 1997 collection Paris Bolero, gold top from the 1997 Haute Couture fashion show by the famous Louis Féraud fashion house. Sleeveless bolero with dog collar, gold lamé base, applied with gold metal plates with a Peplum look. Louis Féraud drew inspiration here from several of humanity's ancestral cultures, including the rounded neckline encircling the chest, which reminds us of the Indian kurtas of Lucknow in the 19th century. Dozens of sewn-in panels with geometric and circular motifs are inspired by antiquity and the Aztec civilisation, which was one of the themes of the 1997 fashion...

A Paco Rabanne Couture Set in Yellow knitwear and Papier Fou- Spring Summer 1991
By Paco Rabanne
Located in Toulon, FR
Spring Summer 1991 Collection France Modernist ensemble from Paco Rabanne's Haute Couture show. Composed of a pair of Bermuda shorts, a tunic-dress made of stretchy ribbed knitwear in lemon-yellow and a bolero with quilted fins in iridescent silver foil called Papier Fou. This clever and deliberately avant-garde process corresponded at the time to a sheet of rhodoïd laminated with a reflective silver foil. Metal buckle with yellow synthetic stone cabochon to close the bolero. Light crazy paper patina, clean set, little or no wear. Very good condition of colour and conservation. Exhibited and catalogued at the Villa Rosemaine...
