2005 Valentino Runway Chartreuse Yellow Silk Shelf-Bust Bustier High Slit Gown

ID: 0702251

Size: small

Condition: excellent

An absolutely stunning and ultra chic Valentino chartreuse yellow silk gown dating back to his gorgeous 2005 spring/summer collection. This ultra rare documented dress was look number 64, modeled by Hana Soukupova. For over forty years, Valentino has been one of the most prominent names in fashion, creating some of the world's most elegant and classic designs. Well-known clients include Princess Margaret of England, Audrey Hepburn, Jacqueline Kennedy, Julia Roberts and Claudia Schiffer. It was Valentino's desire to design clothes that would celebrate the female form and accentuate a woman's sensuality.

The fabric used for this glamorous gown is of the highest quality: a mid-weight chartreuse yellow silk that feels buttery soft against the skin. The bodice features a sculpted shelf-bust with double silk straps framing the shoulders, complemented by a subtle keyhole slit at the center that adds just the right touch of allure. A romantic silk bow tied beneath the bust adds a soft feminine touch. An interior structural boned bustier helps keep everything perfectly in place. There is a dramatic, thigh-high front slit that adds a super sultry and daring flash. I especially love the intricate micro-pleating at the back that cinches and defines the figure, gradually widening toward the hemline to create a soft, flowing effect with every step. The lustrous sheen echoes the soft glow of the chartreuse yellow silk, creating ethereal flowing movement. A timeless archival Valentino that is perfect for any wedding or red carpet affair.
