Spring 2017 Emanuel Ungaro by Fausto Puglisi Runway Look 44 Metallic Brocade Ruffled Mini Dress
- The twin of this dress walked the runway as Look 44 in the Spring 2017 Emmanuel Ungaro collection.
- It was made under the creative direction of Fausto Puglisi
- Puglisi referenced the 1986 video called "Ouragan" by Princess Stephanie of Monaco. "Stephanie was the rebel royal and Decades later it looks like Puglisi aesthetic was in some part formed by that spirit". The review continue to say "we've entered the period of peak ruffle. That means it's a good time to be at Ungaro, a label synonymous with the high flying 80s, which is the last time the world saw frills and flunces on the scale we're witnessing now." Vogue especially noted the purple and yellow combinations he used.
- The dress is made out of a brocade that has a slight 3-D dimension feel to it with race parts within the pattern.
- Joyful flowers and purple and yellow cover the fabric on a ivory backdrop mixed with gold thread. Inside the dress is lined with a bright green muslin that adds a beautiful pop against those already bright colors.
- The front and back are cut into a V and it looks like someone has added a little stitch at the front. If you wanted that front plunge even more that could easily be removed. The shoulders are soft and a double band of ruffles cascade over each shoulder and then sweep down the front and back to the band at the waist.
- The waist has a 2 inch band of the same fabric for shape. On the runway it was belted and if you wanted to really cinch in the waist, you could add a belt.
- The skirt is just fantastic. It curves over the hip and then it's finished with two layers of ruffles that sweep all the way around the hem.
- The ruffles come up on one side and it all perfectly balance is out the ruffles on the shoulders.
- Hidden underneath that one side of the skirt is a very high slit that goes right up to the waist underneath. It is partially wrapped over itself, so you get a flash of leg but not full exposure. It's very sexy.
- This is a gorgeous little dress that combines the joyful for feel of spring with a little bit of sexy.
- The dress is fully lined in the green and closes with a back zipper.
