A totally iconic and ultra flattering Vivienne Westwood green floral silk brocade corset dress dating back to the designer’s 2010 Gold Label collection. The late, great Vivienne Westwood was one of a kind, combining theatrical flourishes with meticulous tailoring and distinctive silhouettes. Over the decades, she went from founding a legendary punk boutique to being named British Designer of the Year and dressing countless A-listers. The 'Gold Label' designation was used for her demi-couture and made-to-measure designs such as this one. The luxurious silk brocade features a beautiful large-scale pattern: an intricate garden print in rich emerald green and black hues unfurl across the entirety of the dress. The seductive bodice is the focal point of this unique piece: the ruched, sculpted bust creates an alluring low-plunge neckline, while an interior corset, one of the designer’s hallmarks, lends additional structure. A nipped waist and ruching around the hips work together to create an hourglass silhouette. The chic pencil skirt, which drops to the knees, features a single dramatic pleat which is so figure flattering. This special dress has even been spotted on iconic stylish stars. In 2010, Marisa Tomei wore it to the Academy’s Governors Awards and Debi Mazar flaunted it on a red carpet that same year. The combination of sex appeal and exceptional craftsmanship makes this a rare and noteworthy look that reflects the creativity of Vivienne Westwood.
