Description from the seller
Vionnet – Runway Model - One-shoulder draped silk long gown – Size 42
Iconic long dress signed Vionnet, perfect example of the sophisticated, sculptural aesthetic that made the maison famous in fashion history. Created in the spirit of Vionnet tradition, the model interprets drape as an architectural element capable of accompanying the female body with extreme naturalness, enhancing its sensuality without ever constraining it.
The one-shoulder design creates a graphic, essential, and highly modern line, while the long draped panel slides along the front of the dress, generating movement, depth, and fluidity. The silhouette is elongated, fluid, and sophisticated: the fabric follows the body with elegance, opening gently at the front into a discreet yet extremely feminine slit.
, which brings light and echoes the couture approach of the maison. The final effect is minimalist elegance with a very strong visual impact, typical of contemporary Vionnet creations.
The model also appears in runway/editorial version, an additional detail that underscores its collectible value and stylistic importance.
The garment is perfect for galas and black-tie events, red carpet, formal occasions, and evening ceremonies. A contemporary piece with strong collectible appeal.
The gold-plated jewelry details applied to the asymmetric neckline for both the runway/show and the shoot are NOT part of the dress (therefore not part of the auction lot); they were added on the two occasions to enrich the garment, and the idea can be easily copied.
