This magnificent and highly coveted 1994 Chloé fall-winter collection runway embroidered blue roses sheer-net gown ensemble is a perfect example of why Karl Lagerfeld's talent has stood the test of time. Karl Lagerfeld sadly passed away in 2019, leaving behind an impressive legacy. Though Karl Lagerfeld is more well known as Chanel’s creative director, his work at Chloé for 25 years helped shape the brand to become internationally recognized and praised. As Vogue recently stated, "Given that this year’s Met Gala theme is 'A Line Of Beauty: Karl Lagerfeld', the renewed interest in the late designer’s vast archive should come as no surprise. While vintage Chanel will always be highly sought-after, his time at Chloé– where he did two stints, from 1963 to 1983 and from 1992 to 1997 – is long overdue a revival."
Not only is this alluring 1994 black & blue embroidered roses sheer net museum quality gown so well documented; it's such a stunning runway look. The underlay is fashioned from the highest quality black silk with an impressive cut-out embroidered bottom skirting. The thin strap low-cut plunge empire bodice and hemline are both trimmed in luxurious black velvet. The matching embroidered roses sheer net full-length over jacket is a statement piece in it's own right. The specular large-scale floral embroidery with complimentary art nouveau style trim, adds such beautiful depth. It ties in the front and as shown, has the most amazing two-tiered sleeve design.
