Description
Design History:
Loris Azzaro, an Italian-French couturier, established himself in the 1960s as one of the iconic designers of Parisian glamour. Known for his sculptural evening gowns, he has dressed numerous celebrities on international red carpets. This dress embodies the sensual, sophisticated spirit of the Azzaro house, with particular attention paid to the play of cut-outs and embellishments, a signature of the couturier’s style.
Exterior details:
The outer fabric is a plain black silk, with a soft feel and fluid fall. The neckline and shoulder cut-outs are trimmed with crystals of various sizes, assembled in a luminous line that subtly catches the light. The back of the dress is slightly longer than the front, creating a discreet asymmetrical effect. The absence of visible fastenings contributes to the minimalist elegance of the piece.
Interior Details:
The interior is lined with an equally plain black silk, allowing the dress to retain all its natural lightness. The seams are precision-finished, and a transparent reinforcing strip is applied to the embroidery to ensure it stays in place. The original label is present, confirming French manufacture and 100% silk composition.
Product Condition:
The dress is in very good vintage condition, with no apparent snags or stains. The ornaments are all present and securely attached.
Care instructions:
Dry-cleaning by a luxury textile specialist is recommended to preserve the quality of the silk and the integrity of the embroidery. Avoid prolonged exposure to direct light or humidity. Ideal storage is flat or on a covered hanger, away from dust.
