ChristianLacroix 1980s 4PieceSet Lace TopstitchedSilk Skirt ZipJacket Ensemble
About the Item
Evoking late-1980s couture with complex construction showcasing a wide variety of sewing techniques and French lace, this like-new "Christian Lacroix Paris Made In France" fuchsia-label four-piece evening ensemble including detachable jewelry features black 100%-silk with extensive white changeante topstitching like the French designer's handwriting, which includes his signature distorted hearts among quilt-like diamond and flora motifs. To wear like a dress, the zip-jacket and pouf-skirt suit includes a hot-pink satin black-lined faux-blouse that can be fixed over the cleavage via a snap under the collar of the front-zip jacket.
Accommodated by princess seams and a rear peplum on the hourglass jacket, the A-frame gathered skirt is in a semi-transparent layered style characteristic of Lacroix's colorful couture with the bottom layer of matching hot-pink satin appearing burgundy under the sheer black stiff organza. The textural skirt overlay echoes the embroidered black-and-white jacket with the addition of undulating black eyelash-lace appliques in the middle.
Like a necklace pendant, the ensemble is topped off with a removable intricately-textured silver diamond-mesh charm recalling a disco ball, which adorns the brass zipper that adds an orange stripe to the ensemble palette.
As our backless mannequin is a small size, the ensemble will appear as a tighter fit when worn by the intended U.S.-size 8-10.
If you would like a coordinating Christian Lacroix Paris silk evening bag from the same period, please view two of our other listings for your choice of a magenta ribbed moire with a bow-motif handle and fold-over snap closure or a like-new contrasting pale-celadon-green satin with a black lacquer-like top that opens at center hinges into a diamond shape.

View All1991 RunwayLook1 KatharineHamnett IridescentGreen FeltedCollar Fitted Skirt Suit
By Katharine Hamnett
Located in Chicago, IL
For the Spring/Summer 1991 made-in-Italy collection of her eponymous London-based brand, Katharine Hamnett debuted this fitted elongated jacket skirt-suit as "Look 1" in her fashion show (see our photo of the video coverage). Her working-woman styled model was unexpectedly accompanied by a male model adorned in a cowboy hat, which suggests her power over a strong man. In a different color without metallic accents, this sleek three-button single-breasted lined jacket is paired with a matching seafoam-green tucked skirt with back slit. Immediately apparent based on the seven piped princess seams around the torso, the jacket is expertly tailored like Savile-Row menswear. It also has a speckled-grey felted collar, piped front pockets, and triple-buttonhole split sleeves. The skirt closes in back with a center zip with hook-and-eye fastening.
The durable cotton-blend fabric, which is in excellent condition, is notable for its slight iridescence with a soft luster that links it to the reflective elements that dominated that colorful collection by Hamnett. We included photos of the suit lit by sunlight with yellow tones and in lighting with...
