ID: 0131251

Size: small

Condition: excellent

A super seductive and highly coveted Dolce & Gabbana crystal rhinestone accented black stretch wool knit crop-top and skirt ensemble dating back to their 1991 fall-winter collection. An iconic look that perfectly embodies the house’s signature fusion of Italian sensuality and bold femininity. A rare crop top debuted on the season's runway, modeled by Claudia Schiffer. The style was also highlighted in a 1991 issue of German Vogue, modeled by Niki Taylor. The designers once stated, "We want to use the past to project it into the future." The 1991 collection,  known as 'Le Pin Up', realizes this sentiment by elevating the classic sensual femininity and theatricality of pin-up art to a modern glamour level. 

This stunning ensemble features a cropped wool-nylon blend top adorned with large prong-set clear crystals that delicately frame the neck and sleeves, adding an air of opulence to the structured design. The high turtleneck design creates an elongated silhouette, lending sophistication to its otherwise daring cut. The hidden zipper runs from the center of the back all the way up to the top of the neck, ensuring a sleek, seamless fit that emphasizes the body’s natural form. The skirt, crafted from the same wool-nylon blend, contrasts with the form-fitting top by adding a beautiful flowing semi-sheer silk skirting. It flares out from the fitted waist, creating a striking balance between structure and movement. The high-waisted cut and the soft, fluid fabric allow the skirt to move with grace, providing the perfect complement to the top’s more structured, sculpted design. A truly magnificent piece of Dolce and Gabbana history. Whether worn on a red carpet or an exclusive gala, this piece radiates both confidence and grace—an essential for the archival fashion lover.
