About
A magnificent piece of haute couture, this iconic 1970s ensemble commands the attention of everyone in the room. A unique choice for a Black Tie event and an incredible example of 1970s drama at its best, both dress and matching cape are crafted in purple silk jersey, with the dress featuring hand crochet detailing set with faceted crystal beads in the same tone.
Renowned for dressing the elite women of French society, Loris Azzaro launched his fashion line in Paris in the mid 1960s and garnered huge success by 1968. Often creating glamorous, form fitting evening dresses that featured ornate beading or daring cut away detail, Azzaro dressed numerous celebrities over the course of his long career, including Raquel Welch, Sophia Loren, Kate Winslet and Nicole Kidman.
