The twin of this dress was Look 68 on the Spring 2015 runway. In 2015 Valentino was headed by both Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli. They had stepped into Mr Valentino's shoes and were breathing new life into the brand. In the Vogue review for this collection they specifically noted the seaside themed dresses: 'The collection was poetic, graceful, and beautiful. Chiuri and Piccioli touched on many of Italy's patrimonies, from its antiquities all the way down to its kitsch... the designers lavished special attention on the seaside, printing some gowns with starfish and snails, and embroidering others with shells, sailing ships, and underwater creatures like the Portuguese man-of-war....as always, it was the workmanship that astounded, be it extravagantly done, as the feather-embroidered numbers were, or more naively wrought, like those sea creatures. "In this moment when everything is synthetic, digital, and flat, you need something more human. To dream, you need to feel something, not just to see," said Piccioli.'  The dress was an instant success and sold out worldwide. It has the added provenance of have been used for the Valentino ad campaign that season and it was featured in the Fed issue of Vogue. 

The dress is made from a fine silk chiffon that is entirely cut on the bias. This is what lets it move so beautifully over the body once it is on. When you walk the fabric catches the air and billows out around you. The design that is screened onto the silk is one of the labels signature coral patterns that was first seen in 1969 for the Haute Couture collection. The silk is a soft off-white and the coral print is finished in a soft neutral palette that plays perfectly against the pale ivory chiffon. It is almost weightless and yet constructed so that it drapes on the body perfectly. The skirt falls to the floor in a sweeping expanse of fabric. The skirt is made up of three layers of silk chiffon. There is the top printed layer and then there are two layers of ivory chiffon underneath that. This is what gives it its lightness and the floating effect it has when you move. The bodice drapes softly over you at the front. The waist is seamed for shape and the back is left bare with a low scoop that sits on an angled curve that swoops down one side. There is a silk covered elastic band that runs across the back to hold the dress in place. If you prefer it to be completely open you could easily remove this so you could get even more of an open and bare feel. At the front the top is cut in a classic one shoulder that curves up and then ties into place with long ties that meet it from the back. It is very beautiful. It looks to have never been worn or worn very little. This would also make a stunning wedding piece for the bride looking for something non-traditional or for an event over a wedding weekend. Excellent condition

Fully lined in an soft ivory coloured silk chiffon that is also cut on the bias. The skirt is made up of three layers of silk chiffon as described above. It closes with a low back hidden set zipper. The strap that goes across the back is attached on one side and hooks to close on the other with a row of four hook & eye. The shoulder ties into place with long attached ties. Inner waist stay hooks to close. Tagged a US8

This is a gorgeous dress. It is from the 2011 Resort collection and was Look 29 of the presentation. In 2011 Valentino was headed by both Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli. They had stepped into Mr Valentino's shoes and were breathing new life into the brand. Vogue's Nicole Phelps said of the show; 'Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pier Paolo Piccioli have won the hearts of the Hollywood and social sets. For proof, one only need look at the red carpet—Sarah Jessica Parker and Dree Hemingway wore Valentino couture to the New York premiere of Sex and the City 2 and the Cannes amfAR gala, respectively.....Taking cues from both the late sixties (when Valentino Garavani was one of the first couturiers to use logos on ready-to-wear) and the current runways...for the eveningwear, in which cheery garden party florals slowly fade to black on the hems of sleeveless dresses and strapless gowns. Well, most of the eveningwear. There were a few perfectly pretty flower-strewn frocks for occasions when edge is out of the question.' This is one of those flower strewn dresses and it was an instant success selling out worldwide. It has the added provenance of Michelle Williams choosing its twin for the Golden Globes Red Carpet. 

This is the kind dress that you see in real life and it makes you swoon. As good as it looks on the red carpet you can also imagine it working as a wedding dress or part of a wedding event for a bride looking for something not quite as traditional. It is made out of a silk organza that is a light nude cafe au lait colour. This is layered over multiple layers of silk. There is an inner silk lining topped by two layers of chiffon and then a layer of solid silk organza between those and the very top layer. The detail and care put into it is just incredible. The very top layer of silk has been printed with that gorgeous daisy print that you see. It has been printed onto the fabric so that it appears to have been hand painted. These bright pops of white are fantastic against the nude silk and give the dress its fresh and romantic feel. At the front the dress is cut to be fairly sleek in feel with a v cut neckline and high waist seam. It flows to the floor in a long column and you get just a suggestion of the ruffles that you will see when you turn around. The back skirt is cut to be far more full then the front. It is finished with a double layered of ruffles that start at the base of the low back and then curve out on each side all the way to the hem. The effect this creates is wonderful. The back is cut to be longer then the front so you get just the hint of a trained effect. The back is cut right down to the waist to leave a bare expanse of skin showing. The straps are the perfect finish. They curve up and around the shoulder and then angle gracefully in towards the centre of the low back. Each is finished with a combination of 3D embroidered and white leather flower embellishments. It is so pretty and even better in person. It appears to have never been worn or worn very little. Excellent condition 

Fully lined in silk and constructed as described above. It closes with an off-set back zipper that is hidden along a side seam. No size tag present. It appears to have been worn very little if at all. It retailed for $7900 in 2011

This is the long version that was made from two pieces shows for the resort runway for that season. You can see the same top of the green dress here and then the same red silk organza used on the the second dress we have induced for reference. Combining the two elements and making the skirt full length results in this gorgeous dress. 

This is a stunning example of Ferrertti's more recent world and a very pretty dress. The red has a touch of a coral tone to it and the fabric choice gives it a light and romantic feel. The bodice and lower skirts have an extensive paneling of an embroidered, open cut owrk lae feeling fabrication. It's pattern combines different sized flowers that are layered over each other with  parts of the design open. On the top this is set to engine down on north he front and back with the silk red silk on the side.A bide coloured mesh sits behind the plunge at the front so you get the illusion of a deep neckline but it is very secure and safe. At the back there is a little option start of fabric that you cansnap into place or fold that back as I have for a deeper more open plunge. It nips in at the waist but with a slightly generous feel and then the skirt is full and falls to the floor under that. The entire bottom half fo the skirt is covered int hat same embroidery work as the top. It is a very pretty dress and has a touch of a vintage feel to it. Its very soft and romantic and feminine. It appears to have never been worn or worn very little. Excellent condition 

Fully lined in a red silk and closes art the back with a hidden set zipper. Tagged a US6. It appears to have never been worn or worn very little.

In October 1997, the first women’s ready to wear collection under the Narciso Rodriguez label was presented in Milan for the spring 1998 season. Rodriguez was awarded 'Best New Designer' at the Vogue/VH1 Fashion Awards in New York and the 'Perry Ellis Award' for best new designer by the Council of Fashion Designers of America that same year. He was the first designer ever to receive consecutive womenswear designer of the Year awards by the Council of Fashion Designers of America in 2002 and 2003. Countless other awards and accolades have been awarded to him as well. He also designed the bias-cut wedding dress that Carolyn Bessette wore for her marriage to John F. Kennedy, Jr. and Michelle Obama chose to wear a dress from the designer’s spring 2009 collection for her husbands victory as present and his first State of the Union address. You may remember seeing Claire Danes in a shorter version of this same dress for the 2012 Tribeca Film Festival. This one is a more evening version and my client had this one made for her by Rodriquez that year. As far as I am aware it was a bespoke piece and it is the only one in existence. It is a stunning example of how amazing of a designer he is. 

The dress is absolute perfection and showcases his talent for the bias cut that is meant to flatter a woman's body but never in a way that is too tight. Rather it just skims over your curves and is so very flattering. The dress is completely cut on the bias and made from a heavy deep fuchsia pink silk crepe. It has that minimalist tendency to it that he is so well known for with a crisp and elegant result. The bodice is cut with his signature bra cut top with a curving black silk panel set so that it scoops under the breasts. It then extends upwards to curve over each shoulder and down the back into a deep scoop. Inset above the black is a top stitched pink bit of silk. The dress flows past the waist from under the black with no seam to break the eye. It is cut on the bias so simply flows perfectly to the hips and then sweeps to the floor. Just above the knee on the skirt inset panels have been set in all the way around the lower part of the skirt. These give the lower skirt the shape volume you see. It moves and flow around you beautifully when you move. The back is cut longer into a slight train that flows behind you. It is absolutely stunning and pristine. The photos come close to the actual color but in person it is even better with slightly more depth and richness. Excellent condition  

Fully lined in a matching silk and closes with a back zipper. The zipper has a bit of a 'stick' feel to it when you close it. Appears to have never been worn or worn very little. The bias cut should allow it to fit a range of sizes

Bust: to 17.5" flat across from side seam to side seam
Waist: to 14" flat across from side seam to side seam

This dress was made for an exclusive collaboration with Luisaviaroma in 2018. The Attico brand was founded by street-style stars Gilda Ambrosio and Giorgia Tordini and the line has a vintage vibe to it that I love. It was a social media hit with an amazing array of women choosing to showcase it. 

The dress is brand new and unworn. It is made by applying thousands of tiny gold sequins flat onto a semi-transparent black fabric. The sequins are placed side by side and completely cover every inch of the dress. The fabric itself has a touch of transparency to it that adds to its light and sexy feel. It has an easy feel through the body that is flattering and comfortable to wear. It wraps and ties to one side of the inner side seam and then it snaps into place under the bow on the other side. The front plunges down into a low V at the neck and the bodice is cut on a on a flattering curve. It is set wide across the shoulders and the sleeves pouf out around the upper arm and then taper into the wrists. The ties and snap cinch it in at the waist and then it curves around the hips. It is cut very short and you can see just how short it in the various shots added. It is brand new and unworn. These sold out instantly when they were dropped. Excellent condition

Unlined and ties to close at the inner side and then the bow snaps into place. Tagged a size 44. Unworn and pristine. With the tie closure there is some play in the measurements below

This was Look 16 on the Burberry runway and was one of the chicest pieces of the Spring 2014 show. Its neutral feel worked perfectly over the soft pastels it was shown with. It is classic Burberry and very well made. The Prorsum line is the high end line for Burberry and this coat was over $5000 at full retail. It is new with all its original tags

This is one of those pieces you will reach for over and over because it will go with anything and will never go out of style. It has a simple and classic cut. Through the body it is loose and easy when you wear it open but with the belt you can cinch it in and create a sharp and curvy silhouette. It has no closures other then the belt. The cut is very simple with no true collar around the neck but the front folds over to give it a collar feel at the front. Large top set pockets sit on either side of the hip for detailing. The suede that has been used is ultra soft and supple. It is surprisingly light weight and moves very well while still retaining its intended shape. It appears to have never been worn. Excellent condition.

Unlined and closes with the matching belt. Tagged a size 40. The loose and easy cut should allow it to work on a variety of sizes. Has its original hangtag in the pocket

The twin of this dress was shown as Look 30 for the Fall 2016 Rosie Assoulin show and it was only offered for sale through the trunk show feature at Moda Operandi. Meaning that only the few dresses pre-ordered were produced in this style making it a rare piece of her work. This dress still has both its original Rosie Assoulin tags and the Moda Operandi tags attached and is in unworn condition. 

This dress is amazing and if you are not afraid of a strong colour then you will love the statement it makes. The yellow is incredibly vibrant, it is almost a neon and in real life is even a touch more of an true bright lemon yellow then the tone it photoed. The fabric is light weight, yellow embroidered wool on a crinkled silk chiffon. It is very easy to wear. When the ties are not done up the dress has an almost caftan feel and is cut very loose and easy through the entire body. The design is quite clever. Long ties loop through the plunge at the front neckline and then extend out for several yards. There are little double sided loops that slide and move along the ties that you can adjust to sit where you wish. These help to hold the ties in place and create a halter feel as you wrap them around your body. The front has a little squared off plunge that sits quite deep and the the neckline is cut wide and meant to sit almost off the shoulders. The ties help to suspend and hold it in place as you see it in the reference photo. The dress falls from there in a widening line to the floor and it is cut supermodel long. The sleeves are spectacular and were a cornerstone of this collection. They are each very full and voluminous with ties at their cuffs so you can cinch them in to where you wish. It is a remarkable dress and stunning on. Excellent condition. 

The dress is interlined in a matching yellow silk organza. It slips on over the head and you can adjust the attached ties as you wish. Comes with an additional tie as well. All tags attached as per above description. Tagged a US 8. The easy cut should allow it to fit a range of sizes

Mother-daughter duo Luisa and Lucilla Beccaria are known for their incredibly feminine pieces with an almost story book feel to them. Their gowns run upwards into the thousands of dollars and their clothing is very well made. The dress that walked the runway in 2014 was not the same cut as this dress is but it did use the same fabric which is how we were able to date this wonderful dress.

This example is more of a caftan feeling piece and it is gorgeous. It is cut supermodel long and was sold this way and meant to be shortened to the exact length its new owner wished it to be. The fabric is wonderful. It is an open cut work embroidery and the stitches that finish the open parts are the palest possible pink. The embroidered floral medallions are a combination of a pale light cotton that has a soft blue embroidered detailing on it. The overall effect is so pretty in person and the color is better then how it photoed. The open work gives it some transparency and you can easily just slip it over a bikini by the pool or wear a nude or colored slip under it to be able to wear it for day or evening. The sleeves are cut extra long and each ends in a wide flare that I love. The neckline is notched and has a series of clear hidden snaps so you can wear it completely done up or open. It skims over the bust, waist and hips all the way to the hem. Up each side is a high slit. There are pockets on each hip for the perfect finish. It is very beautiful and a very easy dress to wear. Excellent condition

Unlined and slips on to wear. Hidden snaps at the neckline and pockets on each hip. Tagged a modern 38. It looks to have never been worn or worn very little. The easy cut should allow it to fit a range of sizes

When Alexa Chung announced that she was doing a collaboration with AG Jeans, the fashion crowd immediately took notice. When the collection was released the pieces sold out worldwide. This little denim mini was the stand out piece from that capsule. The skirt is in immaculate condition and still has all of its original hang tags and shop return tag attached. It is made from a stretch denim so is extremely comfortable to wear. It closes with a series of snaps down the front, each embossed with the 'Alexa Chung for AG' circling around a little flower. The waist cinches in and then then skirt flares out on an angle from there. Its a very easy to wear and a very fun piece. Excellent condition

This was a key piece from the 2015 Balmain Resort collection. This collection created a frenzy for the pieces offered and this skirt in particular sold out and was wait listed world wide. I think everyone wanted one and almost every brand out there made a copy of it. The skirt has never been worn so is showroom fresh.  It has that curved and fitted cut that Balmain is known for and has the added dimension and texture created by what it is made out of. The denim is heavy distressed denim. This gives the skirt an extra dimension and depth that it would not have otherwise. It is cut to sit high up on the waist and is fitted to hug your hips. At the back is the signature Balmain chunky zipper. The front has pockets on each hip and large gold domed buttons run down each side. It has all its original tags still attached and has never been worn. Excellent condition.

This was one of the key pieces from the 2015 season and it is brand new with its original tags still attached. It was look 15 on the runway and all of the pieces from that collection with this graphic stripe were sold out and wait listed around the world. The skirt is a slim cut with a smooth fit around the waist and hips. It is meant to sit a little low on the hip so the waist is cut more generously. I love how the stripes are set to highlight the cut of the skirt. He uses two different stripes to achieve the look that you see. The main stripes through the body are a deep black and the stripes that are set around the waist and highlight that amazing and sexy cut out slit at the front are a more charcoal grey. This is a classic and as covetable now as it was when it first hit the racks. Excellent condition.

The Attico brand was founded by street-style stars Gilda Ambrosio and Giorgia Tordini and the line has a vintage vibe to it that I love. This is a more recent dress from the Spring 2019 collection that was shown in the presentation as a long piece and then produced in that same fabric in this shorter version. It was a favorite of the brands founder, Giorgia Tordini, who wore this dress and posted it on her Instagram.

For the Vogue review of the Spring 2016 Vetements show, Sarah Mower stated: The entity that goes under the name Vetements has caused quite a quake through fashion—bottom-up, from nowhere. Just when—by looking at mainstream corporate luxury-goods norms—it seemed that cool was dead and buried and nothing “alternative” could ever again survive, along came a couple of brothers, Demna and Guram Gvasalia, and their collective of friends, to prove skeptics wrong....At top speed, Demna Gvasalia and his co-conspirators confirmed everything their following likes about their off-kilter, elegant, giant-jacketed tailoring and clunky romantic dresses, and then bettered it all. ...Then came the dresses, in a stunning number of new, colorful, and punchy-sophisticated ideas....Demna Gvasalia himself learned the ropes at Maison Martin Margiela, before setting up Vetements and getting on with proving that there can be a different way of doing things. Apart from their stylistic insights into what people really want to wear, it feels like the beginning of something else, too—perhaps something like the power of niceness and friendship in an industry that could do with a lot more of that."

This dress was one of the favored among the street style set and was photoed endlessly it seemed for various editorials. It sold out world wide and was wait listed. It is impossible to find even now I am very pleased to have sourced one that has never been worn and is absolutely perfect. It feels as fresh and avant garde as it did then and will absolutely be a future collectible. The black base fabric is covered with a large floral print that runs over the entire dress and the cut is oversized. The body of the dress is made of layers of a chiffon and the sleeves and all the ruffles are made out of a heavier, stiffened fabric that gives them shape and structure. The shoulders are cut wide and are meant to be prominent. You can see the beginning of their signature asymmetrical setting of the skirt that carries through to present collections. It is remarkable and a true piece of fashion history that will only increase in value as time passes. I also have a red version of this same dress that is also new with tags. Original tags attached. Excellent condition.

Lined in the same chiffon and slips on to wear. Tagged an XS but is meant to be worn over-sized. It will fit a range of sizes because of this.

This is such a pretty and romantic piece by Rosie Assoulin. It is from the Resort 2018 collection and was look 32 in the presentation. The original price on this was was just under 3k. This one has never been worn and still has its original sales tags. It would make a love garden party dress or even a wedding dress for a bride who does not want to go the traditional route.

The dress has an asymmetrical feel and is cut to spiral down and around the body. It shows Rosie's quirky sense of design that still manages to be refined and elegant. There is a reason why the top stylists in the world source from Rosie's work on a regular basis for their clients red carpet appearances. The bright flowers that cover the entire dress were inspired by bodega flowers—specifically, the paper wrappers that come with the blooms. Hence the 'Say it with flowers' slogan found at so many New York bodegas and now printed onto the dress. I love that it is printed in several ways. It runs over the straps that curve around the shoulders and throughout the base satin finish fabric. More flowers and that same slogan are printed across the silk chiffon panels that flutter over one shoulder and then down and around the body to the hem. The flowers that you see are a combination of direct printing onto the fabric and velvet flocked parts to give a touch of texture and an extra tactile sense. It is an easy to wear dress and makes the prettiest statement. I love it. Excellent condition

Fully self-lined in white through the entire dress. It closes with a hidden set zipper. Light boning on the sides of the bodice. Pockets hidden along the side seams. The shoulder straps seemed to be cut a little long on  my dress form but they could easily be adjusted if you found that on you as well. Original price/hang tag attached and it has not been worn.

The Swash Buckler top is from the Fall 2017 Rosie Assoulin collection. On the runway this same print was shown on the finale gown. These tops were a hallmark of the collection and their high drama is an easy way for a modern girl to step out in the evening and be able to pair it with pants or a skirt and still get a high glamour feel. The top is an amazing feat of proportion and cutting. The front has a v-neckline with loose ties at the neck. This tops a curved yoke and then the body of the top flares out under that. The fit through the body is relaxed and the sleeves are cut into fantastical bubble sleeves. They are set low on the sides and then pouf out and are cut on a curve so that they follow the arm and maintain the same pouf from the shoulder to the cuff. The cuffs are cut extra long and slit so that you can wear then unfolded and over the hand or flip them up. The back has a ton of volume and the choice of the fabric keeps it light and airy in feel. I love it. Excellent condition

It is constructed from a double layer of the organza. It slips on to wear with ties at the neck. Each cuff has two silk covered buttons and loops to close. Tagged a modern brand size S but the cut is very generous so it should fit a variety of sizes.

This is a spectacular bold silhouette Balmain dress by Olivier Rousteing. The fabric is great. It's just heavy enough to hold the shape and structure that the dress has but without feeling thick or too structured. The shoulders have Rousteing's signature bold and sharp shape and the sleeves taper to the wrist from there. The fabric on the skirt is draped in towards the center front so that you get the effect that the hips are wrapped in it. The front bodice also is wrapped down and into that center knot giving the illusion of an even smaller waist. The bodice of the dress has a long open keyholes at the front and this is balanced by a high neckline. At the back, the Balmain signature chunky zipper runs down the back. It is spectacular and sexy and a collectible both now and as a future vintage piece. It appears to have never been worn. Excellent condition.

Unlined and closes at the back with the signature chunky brass Balmain zipper. Padding in shoulders. Appears unworn. Tagged a modern Balmain 40. The fabric does have some stretch

From 2004 until 2012, Stefano Pilati was the head designer of Yves Saint Laurent for 8 years. He did two more collections after the Resort 2012 one. Vogue said of this collection that Pilati had succumbed to the call of the sea for resiort sending "out a cruise collection that was as croisière as it gets, complete with lanyard necklaces, rope-print dresses, and sailor jackets and pants. Afterward, the designer pointed out that Yves Saint Laurent did a nautical collection of his own around 1982. "He showed it with sheer stockings and pumps, and I loved the 'why not?' factor," Pilati said" This dress was Look 23 of the collection and one of the ones that had a definitive nod to the original YSL archives in its lines.

The dress is ain a pretty crepe fabric that has a blue floral print covering it. It has the feel of Yves infamous 'Scandal collection of 1971 in its cut that has a string nod to the forties. The sleeves are capped and gathered along a bad that runs down their tops before buttoning in a cuff detail. The front plunges quite low and ties in two places along that plunge. There is actually a double panel of fabric that extends out from each side to make those ties which is unusual and gives a bit thicker knot for coverage. The bust and waist just skim over the body with no seaming present until you hit the low ruffle of the skirt. This low set skirt has volume so that when you move it moves and gives the dress its flirty feel. Excellent condition.

Unlined and closes with a hidden set side zipper. Ties at the front and each sleeve has a button to close. Tagged a YSL FR40 but cut generously for that sizing.

Inset shoulders: 14"
Bust: 18" flat across from side seam to side seam

This lovely Rochas dress still has its tags attached and is that perfect dress for when you want full impact mixed with a touch of feminine prettiness. It is made of a silk crepe de chine in a beautiful shade of red. This fabric choice gives it lightness but allows it to drape over the body and have a pretty flow to it. It is suspended from the shoulder by tiny little silk straps that meet the bodice at the front and cross over and hold the low dip at the back. There is a little gather at the bust and the seam curves up to meet that for a pretty line. The dress flows out from there to the floor, gradually widening as it goes. At the back, it dips very low and then again flows to the floor. This leave the upper part of you more bare but is very flattering in the way it skims over the body under that. Below this is a double row of ruffles made from the same fabric. I love that this gives a nod to the historical bustle but in a very fresh and modern way. It is cut super model long and the lightness of the silk gives it beautiful movement. Excellent condition with a note below

Unlined and closes with a hidden set zipper at the side. There is a smudge near the seam on one side of the bust and some grubbiness along the hem at the front mainly. It was new with tags so was not cleaned and I am sure these will come out for be so faint it won't matter. In person, the color is a little more a muted red then how it photoed. Tagged a modern 40

Karlie Kloss wore the twin of this dress to the Balmain after party in Paris that season and the photos instantly went world wide. This was a peice that was available exclusively through Farfetch so very few were produced making it even harder to get. This one still has its farfetch tags and has never been worn. Olivier Rousteing said of this collection to Vogue: "Welcome to my jungle," Olivier Rousteing pronounced backstage, declaring this fearless mash-up of safari chic and hip-hop style to be his most personal collection ever. "I'm French, I'm black, and I'm proud to be at Balmain, but this is a message of freedom and globalism."

The dress is made from a leopard print jersey that is cut supermodel long. It has a open back dress that leaves an expanse of skin bare. It has the signature Balmain chunky zipper at the back that sits low below the waist, becoming a design feature in itself. The halterneck sits high at the front with a gilded and embossed lion head snaps fastening it at the back of the neck. I love the black detailing that sweeps up and around the neckline and forms a criss-cross pattern around the waist. This draws the eye in and acts both as a fabulous detailing to the dress and also it gives the illusion of a waist cinching belt and makes you look even tinier through the waist then you are. The hem is cut longer at the back then the front for a trained effect asymmetric hem and a super model long, sweeping floor-length that features a thigh-high split at the front. Original tags still attached. Excellent condition

Has a full black stretch jersey inner lining. Closes at the back of the neck with snaps and at the low back waist with a zipper. Tagged a 42 but Balmain fits small. Original tags attached. Never worn.

Bust: no true side seams
Waist: 12-13" flat across from side seam to side seam

For the Vogue review of the Spring 2016 Vetements show, Sarah Mower stated: The entity that goes under the name Vetements has caused quite a quake through fashion—bottom-up, from nowhere. Just when—by looking at mainstream corporate luxury-goods norms—it seemed that cool was dead and buried and nothing “alternative” could ever again survive, along came a couple of brothers, Demna and Guram Gvasalia, and their collective of friends, to prove skeptics wrong....At top speed, Demna Gvasalia and his co-conspirators confirmed everything their following likes about their off-kilter, elegant, giant-jacketed tailoring and clunky romantic dresses, and then bettered it all. ...Then came the dresses, in a stunning number of new, colorful, and punchy-sophisticated ideas....Demna Gvasalia himself learned the ropes at Maison Martin Margiela, before setting up Vetements and getting on with proving that there can be a different way of doing things. Apart from their stylistic insights into what people really want to wear, it feels like the beginning of something else, too—perhaps something like the power of niceness and friendship in an industry that could do with a lot more of that."

This dress was one of the favored among the street style set and was photoed endlessly it seemed for various editorials. It sold out world wide and was wait listed. It is impossible to find even now and I am very pleased to have sourced one that has never been worn and is absolutely pristine. It feels as fresh and avant garde as it did then and will absolutely be a future collectible. The color is a deep red and the cut is oversized. The body of the dress is made of layers of a chiffon and the sleeves and all the ruffles are made out of a heavier, stiffened fabric that gives them shape and structure. I love that the sleeves are cut in a very traditional carving line. The shoulders sit extra wide and are meant to be prominent. The skirt is set asymmetrically and this was the beginning of this detailing that has gone on to become one of their signatures in current collections. It is remarkable and a true piece of fashion history that will only increase in value as time passes. Unworn with all original tags attached. Excellent condition

Lined in the same chiffon and slips on to wear. Tagged an XS but is meant to be worn over-sized. It will fit a range of sizes because of this. Original tags attached
