About the Item
A business guru by original trade, American designer James Purcell established a well-respected career in fashion for some time. Despite coming from a background in finance and the Midwest, Purcell excelled in the world of fashion with his jovial sophisticate aesthetic capturing a composed look. Now a style and brand image consultant, Purcell’s cache is undeniable being likened to the likes designers such as Halston and Norell. What added to Purcell’s candor is his exclusive acquisition of couture grade fabrics as with this 1980s skirt from the notable Abraham textile house. This slubbed silk black and pale grey polka dot skirt has an aura of refined fun about it. Falling to about high-thigh length, this skirt is gathered into the black satin waistband that extends to make a dramatic front tie sash. The mixture of artistic styles allows for this garment to be versatile working well over a chic pair of pants or standing alone as part of a cocktail or day-to-night ensemble.

View AllBalenciaga Black Polka Dot Silk Mini Dress, 1990s
By Balenciaga
Located in Boca Raton, FL
Presented by newly appointed head designer Nicolas Ghesquière, the Fall/Winter 1997 runway captured the Balenciaga essence with a balance of edge and elegance incorporating tailored looks and feminine dresses with the added quirk of playful polka dot prints. Presumably from that collection, this Balenciaga mini dress spares no details. A black silk chiffon overlay accented by a black satin collar and multi-tiered ruffle detail at the hem provide an elaborate frame for the crème and black polka-dot silk crepe underdress. Adding to the boldness of this design are moderate size bishop sleeves with matching black satin cuffs. The vertical aspects and loose flow of this dress give off a 60s youthful aesthetic met with a goth Lolita edge.

Waist: 30 inches
Hips: 32 inches
