Vintage 1958 Jean Desses Haute-Couture Metallic Lame Abstract Print Dress & Coat

About the Item

Jean Desses couture garments are rare, unique and highly collectible. This exquisite ensemble dates back to when Jean Desses closed his couture house at 17, Avenue Matignon and continued designing from No. 12 Rond-Point-des-Champs-Elysees until 1963 when he retired. The fabric itself is breathtaking; unique impressionist printed metallic-lame in sparkling gold, orange & aqua. I adore the fully-boned, meticulously tailored low-cut plunge bodice with seductive backless design. The matching coat is fully-lined in soft velvet which feels heavenly against the skin! Just look at the chic cocoon shape with stand-up collar. The workmanship and time spent to construct this set is astonishing and it is a true piece of fashion couture history. Measurements Bust:32-33 inches Waist:24 inches Hips:36 inches Total Dress Length:40 inches Total Coat Length:41 inches This Jean Desses couture ensemble is in excellent condition with no rips, stains or holes. The dress closes with a hand-set painted back metal zipper and inner waist-stay. All hand finished and an investment piece that will continue to increase in value.

Vintage 1991 Givenchy Haute Couture Green Pink Satin Strapless Jumpsuit & Jacket

By Givenchy

Located in Beverly Hills, CA

Givenchy, the name itself evokes glamour, refined elegance, simplicity and style. Givenchy's trademark of sculpted lines and luxurious fabrics make his work easily recognizable. This bold jumpsuit ensemble, dating back to their 1991 haute couture collection, is a beautiful example of his brilliance. The fabric itself is a masterpiece; luxurious emerald-green and magenta-pink lined silk satin. I adore the boned strapless bodice with over-sized cummerbund belt. The flattering nipped waist met by straight-legged trouser pants create the perfect amount of drama to this timeless piece. The matching hourglass peplum jacket complete with wide lapel-collar and over-sized pockets finish this garment off with a perfect femme fatale vibe. With this ensemble, you have one complete outfit or amazing separates!
