  • 1965 Valentino Haute Couture Museum-Held Beaded Lamé Ivory Lace Mod Shift Dress

    ID: 0729241
    Size: small
    Condition: excellent

    An absolutely stunning and highly coveted Valentino haute couture beaded, rhinestone-prong tiered ivory lace mini shift dress dating back to his 1965 fall-winter collection. 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. This ultra chic shift dress is a rare early example of his genius. As shown, the same stunning dress is archived at the Fashion Institute of Technology Museum in New York. The garment's simple unstructured style is so effortless while the luxurious fabrication is a treasure trove of couture artistry. The tiered ivory lace over metallic lamé gives the garment so much depth and texture. You literally sparkle as you walk! The sleeveless bodice has an elegant v-neck and two mock waist pockets. The flattering A-line shift mini construction emphasizes a woman's gorgeous shape without adding any bulk or volume to the actual hips.  A timeless archival Valentino that is perfect for any modern wedding or red carpet moment.
