Size: small

Condition: excellent

A well-documented, iconic Loris Azzaro ivory silk jersey and metallic gold metal mesh backless goddess gown with matching cape dating back to 1972. As shown, this look is so well documented, featured on both Tina Turner and Marisa Berenson in the September 1972 issue of Vogue France. Loris Azzaro is famous for creating glamorous and provocative customized gowns for the celebrity elite. His epic designs were favorites to actresses such as Raquel Welch, Sophia Loren and Nicole Kidman. Our ultra rare gown is crafted from a luxurious mid-weight ivory silk jersey, which drapes over the body with a soft, fluid like grace. The sparkling metallic gold metal mesh halterneck design draws the eye upwards, accentuating the shoulders. I love the low plunge knotted detail which front adds a touch of texture and drama. The full-length cape, which sweeps around with movement, adds an unmistakable sense of regal glamour. Talk about the ultimate disco queen look! This archival ensemble would be perfect for any important red carpet or bridal moment. Every curve, every detail speaks to this unforgettable time in 1970's fashion history that continues to inspire. A true Loris Azzaro masterpiece.
