SCHIAPARELLI, 1980s Evening ensemble in gold and silver lurex, consisting of a long, sleeveless A-line dress with a boat neckline adorned with an openwork oval motif on the right shoulder. A strip of padded gold lurex fabric accentuates the boat neckline and the hem of the dress. Zipper closure at the back. It comes with a long-sleeved jacket featuring a shirt collar; it fastens with four circular metal buttons set with clear rhinestones (wear on the buttonholes and two rhinestones missing from the bottom button). Cream-colored viscose rayon lining (small stains) Labeled “Schiaparelli Paris, registered design, made in France” Size 36–38 The padded gold lurex fabric band is likely inspired by the “trapunto” quilting technique —a technique involving two layers of fabric padded with cotton batting to create the kind of volume seen on Elsa Schiaparelli’s famous “Skeleton Dress” from her Summer 1938 collection.
