Description from the seller
Vionnet – Runway Model - One-shoulder draped silk long dress – Size 42
Iconic long dress signed Vionnet, perfect example of the sophisticated and sculptural aesthetic that made the house famous in fashion history. Created in the spirit of Vionnet tradition, the model interprets drapery as an architectural element capable of guiding the female body with extreme naturalness, enhancing its sensuality without ever constraining it.
The one-shoulder design creates an essential, modern graphic line, while the long draped panel slides over 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 with a discreet yet extremely feminine slit.
, that gives light and recalls the couture approach of the house. The final effect is that of minimalist elegance with a very strong visual impact, typical of contemporary Vionnet creations.
The model also appears in runway/editorial version, another 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 and the shoot ARE NOT part of the dress (i.e., not part of the auction lot); they were inserted on the two occasions to enrich the dress, and the idea can be easily copied.
