About the Item
This alluring magenta silk jumpsuit was created by Italian ready-to-wear manufacturer Genny during the late 1990s. Genny is typical of a number of Italian fashion companies manufacturing high quality ready-to-wear lines designed for them by leading names in the industry, yet launched under the company's own label. Gianni Versace was notably Genny’s creative director for 20 years from 1973 and Christian Lacroix also worked at the brand.
Made in Italy, this all-in-one is crafted from magnificent magenta hued silk. It has a draped, wrap front which is cut sensuously low. The waist is elasticated. The trousers are tailored to a harem style; generously cut around the hips, they narrow towards the ankles. The sleeves are long and are finished with fabric-covered button cuffs. The top is unlined but the trousers are lined with a tonal crepe. It has in-seam pockets at the hips which add to the slouchy feel. Special attention has been paid to the collar and neckline, where silver embroidery is used to embellish flowers, leaves and vines, dotted with tonal violet rhinestones - a decadent detail typical of Genny during this era.
The jumpsuit is in excellent vintage condition with no issues. There are no size or composition labels and the fabric has no stretch save for the waistband (see measurements below). We suggest a best fit a size UK 8, 10 and 12 and US equivalent 4, 6, 8.

1990 Documented Valentino Purple Iridescent Silk Chiffon Ruched Dress
By Valentino
Located in London, GB
This stunning Valentino Boutique gown was designed as part of the Fall 1990 collection, when Mr Garavani was still at the helm of his eponymous fashion house. A dress with the same silhouette, but in green, walked the runway and is pictured here at the end of the presentation. In the same collection, Valentino showed a different style of dress in the same purple-hued ruched silk and lace. Since finding the runway images, we have realised that the detachable bow - photographed by us on the shoulder - can also sit at the waist, or wherever the wearer chooses.
Beautifully crafted as only Valentino can, this floor-length gown is tailored from an iridescent silk chiffon that shines between shades of mauve and plum. Up close, the fabric is revealed to be woven with tiny threads of vibrant aqua-blue, which catch the light as the cloth ripples. The gown is cut to a one-shoulder silhouette and has a bustier top where the chiffon is heavily ruched, creating an organic ruffled texture and woven into panels which cross over at the front. The bustier top has a sweetheart neckline and is boned the whole way around, supporting the bust and cinching the waist. The skirt is multilayered and intricately detailed. The bottom layer is crafted from lilac lace and is detailed with flowers and metallic threads. This sits underneath a layer of sheer silk chiffon, revealing flashes of metallic cloth sparkling from underneath. The single strap is crafted from sheer chiffon and is adorned with a large frothy bow that falls elegantly over the shoulder.
