Size: small 

Condition: excellent

This ultra rare and incredibly ethereal Valentino ivory silk draped bias-cut gown, dating back to his 2002 spring-summer collection, captures the quiet sensuality and refined glamour that defined the house’s early-2000s vision. Founded by Valentino Garavani, the house became renowned for its impeccable craftsmanship, romantic elegance, and a unique vision of femininity that balanced purity with sensuality. Through masterful use of line, fabric, and proportion, Valentino shaped generations of fashion with designs that remain enduringly relevant. This sensational gown, fashioned in a liquid smooth candlelight-ivory toned silk, falls in a fluid bias-cut silhouette that skims the body before cascading into an elegant floor-length trained pool. Subtle side draping adds movement and dimension, enhancing the natural flow of the fabric as it glides with each step. The most alluring feature is the dramatic, risqué cut-out that arcs across the bodice, ingeniously secured with three silk ties placed to contour the torso. Beneath the openings, a stunning separate semi-sheer underlayer of intricate beading and sequin work shimmer through the cut-outs, creating a striking contrast of texture and light. Both enchanting and daring, this Valentino gown is a breathtaking choice for a bride seeking something unconventional yet deeply romantic. Beyond the aisle, it is equally suited for an epic red carpet moment, or any occasion where refined impact is desired.
