    Fantastic Spring 1993 Karl Lagerfeld Runway Black Dress w Extensive Beading

    I Have A Question: Fantastic Spring 1993 Karl Lagerfeld Runway Black Dress w Extensive Beading


    • The twin of this dress walk the runway for the Spring 1993 collection.
    • It was made under the creative direction of Karl Lagerfeld
    • He did an entire series of dresses in several variations for this collection. We have also added some other shots from the collection for you to see since this particular group of dresses were integral to the collection that year. 
    • Examples of Karl's work during this time period are held in museums around the world and are rare finds. This is an important piece of his fashion history. 
    • The cut of the dress is simple but it is very sexy with its long silhouette and see through lower skirts.
    • The dress is made out of a black crepe that has a slight bias cut to it that allows it to drape well over the body once on.
    • The strap detailing that crosses over the body, edges the bust area, and is used for the straps that go up and around the neck, are all made from a wide cotton weave looking ribbon that is applied directly onto the dress.
    • Black seed beads were applied onto that ribbon and they catch the light beautifully when you move. The bodice is extensively beaded, sequinned and embroidered. The colours are bright and brilliant and I love how they give the dress a fantastic pop of colour.
    • The work completely covers each triangle of the front bust and then wraps all the way around the back. The straps are intricate and hook behind the neck and become a design detail in themselves. 
    •  The dress skims over the body and then flares out with that inset of silk chiffon for the very lower part of the skirt.
    • Fully lined in a black silk. The lower chiffon part of the skirt is unlined. It closes with a hidden set back zipper and hooks to close at the back of the neck. Hand finishes and beautifully constructed.

    I Have a Question

    Fabulous Fall 1995 Karl Lagerfeld Runway Black Net Dress w Velvet Detailing

    I Have A Question: Fabulous Fall 1995 Karl Lagerfeld Runway Black Net Dress w Velvet Detailing


    • The twin of the dress that was worn on the runway for the Fall 1995 Karl Lagerfeld show.
    • He launched his self-named label in 1984 and by the 1990s it was firmly established. Pieces from his personal label were far edgier then the work he did for Chanel. It was a label where he explored a more avant garde feel with his designs and pushed the envelope more. 
    • The dress that is made out of a mix of a light weight black net that is backed in more layers of netting and silk chiffon.
    • Onto that is a pattern made from black velvet fused onto the netting. The velvet is set to highlight the cut and lines of the dress.
    • It has a slightly more bare and fitted feel through the upper bodice and then flares and widens out very dramatically to the hem.
    • The fabric is light in weight but the layering underneath the top layer of netting gives it enough weight and structure to hold the shape.
    • The bust drops into a V and the velvet details on the bodice are set on angles to work into a centre vertical velvet line. This same striping runs horizontally all the way around the hem. The line that runs down the centre of the bodice extends all the way to the hem and then more vertical lines go all the way around the skirt to break up it up into panels.
    • The waist comes in a touch, but has a more generous feel to it, and the skirt swings in a a wide A-line.
    • At the back, the dress completely opens with a series of silk covered buttons that run from neck to just above the hem.
    • The bodice is lined in another layer of the same netting and the skirt has three more layers of netting under the top layer and an inner nude silk chiffon layer under those. It closes at the back with the series of buttons that you see. 
    • Excellent condition.

    Bust: to 16" flat across from side seam to side seam
    Waist: to 13.5" flat across from side seam to side seam
    Hips: to 22" flat across from side seam to side seam
    Bodice: approx 15" from top of the shoulder to waist
    Total length: 55" from top of the shoulder to hem

    Modern Sizing Equivalent: XS-SML

    Item# DD4926
