Vionnet - Maxi dress

Vionnet – Runway Model - One-shoulder long dress in draped silk – Size 42

Iconic long dress signed Vionnet, a 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 accompanying the female body with extreme naturalness, enhancing its sensuality without ever constraining it.
The one-shoulder design creates an essential and modern graphic line, while the long draped panel slides down the front of the dress, generating movement, depth and fluidity. The silhouette is elongated, fluid and sophisticated: the fabric follows the body with elegance, gently opening at the front in a discreet but extremely feminine slit.
, which adds light and recalls the couture approach of the house. The final effect is minimalist elegance with a 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 golden jewelry details applied to the asymmetric neckline for both the runway and the shoot ARE NOT part of the dress (therefore part of the auction lot); they were added on the two occasions to enrich the dress and the idea can be easily copied.
