48 - LOUIS FÉRAUD.

LOUIS FÉRAUD. Two-piece evening ensemble in silk, entirely embroidered with black sequins. Consists of a sleeveless top and a matching knee-length skirt. The edges are accented with black pearls. Black Louis Féraud label. Circa 1980–90. Size 44 Sequins are a hallmark of French couture. In the 1980s, Louis Féraud made them one of his signature evening looks: his Fall-Winter 1984–1985 haute couture collection included a tunic dress densely embroidered with sequins and rhinestones. Around 1980, Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche also created tops entirely embroidered with black and silver sequins. The Lanvin house, founded by Jeanne Lanvin, has long been renowned for its embroidery and beading. Chantal Thomass added her own flair, drawing inspiration from Parisian cabaret and the boudoir. This Louis Féraud ensemble follows in that tradition: radiance, spectacle, and masterful couture craftsmanship.
