Vintage Gattinoni panel display dress

About the Item

At the heart of an art exhibition, an extraordinary resin display panel stands proudly, a silent tribute to Raniero Gatinoni's iconic moments of Italian fashion in the 1990s. Precisely crafted, it has four thin holes at its ends, seamlessly anchoring it to the gallery walls, as if it were an altar to an era of elegance. As the eyes approach, a vision of pure simplicity and timeless beauty emerges from the depths of the shrine. A black dress, elegant in its minimalism, takes center stage. It exudes an aura of understated sophistication, a testament to the enduring appeal of classic design. This dress carries a secret, for it bears the label of the illustrious Raniero Gattinoni, a name that resonates in the annals of Italian fashion history.The dress, like a siren's call, beckons admirers to linger, to pay homage to an era that shaped the world of haute couture. Its lines are clean and unadorned, a canvas that allows the wearer's grace to shine. In its simplicity lies a profound statement: that true elegance requires no embellishment, for it is a quality that comes from within. Beneath the dress, a delicate logo, seemingly crafted from paper, comes into view. It takes the form of an angel, an ethereal symbol reminiscent of the iconic Fiorucci logos that graced the fashion landscape of the 1990s. This logo, like a guardian spirit, whispers of the era's trends and the cultural currents that influenced fashion. The artist behind this mesmerizing creation sought to achieve the impossible—to imprison a dress and, in doing so, bestow upon it the gift of immortality. In the confines of this resin shrine, the dress becomes more than a garment; it becomes a relic, a symbol of an era, a bridge between the past and the present. This exhibition panel, a harmonious blend of artistry and fashion, is an ideal vessel to showcase as an installation. It serves as a time capsule, a portal to an age of elegance and innovation. As you stand before it, you cannot help but feel the emotions it evokes—the reverence for a bygone era, the admiration for timeless design, and the gratitude for the artists and designers who shaped the tapestry of Italian fashion history.

  • Alexsander Danel Austin Productions Inc Orchide Sculpture AP3590 Fashionista 90s
    By Alexsander Danel
    Located in Port Saint Lucie, FL
    This fabulous 30 inch sculpture of a high fashion woman was produced by Austin Productions and designed by Alexsander Danel in 1990. From our research, this piece is called ORCHIDE, likely from their high fashion collection. The piece stands appx 30in tall and the base is 10in wide. In very good condition for its 27+ years of age, we note some scratches, rubs and tiny dings here and there as you would expect from a vintage sculpture that has been handled, yet it still displays beautifully. Our price reflects this "less than pristine" condition. No paperwork or stickers on bottom, but signed at base AUSTIN PROD INC 1990 and A DANEL...
