Documented 1971 Malcolm Starr Sequin Covered Dress designer-lanvin Item# DD2865

Item# DD2865

Made out of a heavy gold silk

This version is made of a purple silk and has most of the same lines as its inspiration - it is a strapless and floor-length with the neckline cut straight across and folds running down each side of the bodice

The collar is in excellent condition and its only flaw is a slight discoloration to the interior lining near the upper back - which of course does not show when on

The results were dresses like this one that weigh only a few ounces and are incredibly easy to wear and look fantastic

Documented 1971 Malcolm Starr Sequin Covered Dress designer-lanvin Item# DD2865I always love being able to date a piece and when this wonderful little Malcolm Starr dress landed in my studio I instantly remembered seeing it before. Its twin was used in a 1971 Harper's Bazaar editorial. The dress is a glamorous take on the more fitted silhouette of the day. The base fabric has a slight stretch to it and a gorgeous pattern that has a slight far East feel to it. Over this is are glossy clear sequins that entirely cover the dress.
