Fantastic Fall 1999 Giorgio Armani Runway Beaded Sequin Net Bodysuit & Deep Pink Skirt Set
- The twin of the bodysuit top walked the Fall 1999 Giorgio Armani runway. This is paired with a pink skirt from the same collection that was not presented on the runway.
- It was made under the creative direction of Giorgio Armani.
- Even with a different skirt you can see how spectacular these are once it is on the body from the runway reference photos.
- My client told me that these beaded pieces only had 4-5 pieces produced per size per market. So there are very few of them out there.
- The top is a full body suit made out of a black stretch mesh net that has that gorgeous floral pattern beaded onto it that is highlighted with sequins.
- I love that the structure of the top is soft so that it glides over you. It is very easy to wear and I love is touch of transparency through the netting. The netting has two layers it has a bit of extra coverage but there is definitely some transparency through the net between the flowers.
- The net is very light in weight and you can see how it tucks beautifully into the skirt without adding bulk once something is layered over it.
- The flowers have been applied by hand and are a fantastic combination of of beads and sequins. They made so that they sit slightly up and off the mash and the centres of the flowers have a little 3D dangling centres. The final effect is fantastic. They are scattered over the bodysuit and the intensity of the deep pink and blues are fantastic against the black.
- The skirt has a defined waist and then it curves out and over the hips to the floor, widening out to be very full as it nears its hem.
- The skirt is made out of a deep pink silk that has a touch of iridescent finish to it. It is a better pink than how it photoed here. It has just enough weight to hold its shape but is still light and easy to wear.
- I love that there are pockets hidden along each hip.
- The play between the pattern and texture of the body seat paired with the vibrant solid colour of the skirt is fantastic.
- As with many of Armani pieces, the cuts are simple and require a body to truly bring them to life. I love that the two pieces allow you to mix a match with things that you already own. Our entire trio of vintage being shared today is from Armani and all of these pieces could be mixed and matched.
- The top is made of 2 layers of black stretch net and the skirt is lined in a pink silk. The top slips on and hooks to close at the inseam. The skirt closes with a series of snaps at the waist. Pockets on each hip. The bodysuit has lots of stretch and I've put the comfortable range below. Both pieces appear to have been worn very little at all.
- Neither of the pieces have a size tag present so please go by the measurements listed below.
