(3) Please note that the lot is missing its Vetement Spa and sizing labels; please contact the relevant department for further information. Grade B Provenance: An important private collection. Notes: The group is united by Patina’s highly decorative approach to textile design, combining relaxed, elongated silhouettes with exceptionally dense floral embroidery. Each garment presents a distinct colour treatment—from the vivid fuchsia ground of the first piece, through the warmer earth tones and multicoloured needlework of the second, to the dramatic monochrome contrast of the black and ivory example—while retaining a consistent emphasis on ornamental borders, botanical motifs and richly worked surfaces. Together, the three pieces form a particularly cohesive collection of statement evening and occasion wear, drawing on traditional embroidered dress while interpreted through contemporary, easy-fitting silhouettes.
