Description: Lanvin by Alber ElbazVintage / Archive Spring Summer 2007 Runway Collection: Catwalk Exit #53Tan / Beige Pleated Ruched Silk Sleeveless Backless Balloon Sack DressSize 34 FR (international XS)100% Silk | Made in FranceRetail $4,500 Collector's, museum / archive worthy piece from the dressmaking genius of Alber Elbaz (1961-2021). Part of The Anna Wintour Metropolitan Museum Costume Institute's permanent collection. This dress captures the sculptural fluidity and natural grace of Elbaz's work and embodies the clothing he designed to provide ease and confidence for women. This sleeveless dress features yards of ruched / pleated silk that balloons out. The internal dress is a slimmer "tube" shape and the external silk fabric is expertly draped and sewn onto the internal shape, giving the outside a flouncy balloon shape. Very good condition for the age. Some pulls to the fabric and light fading. There are some portions with inset wrinkles. Could benefit from an expert dry clean. The pleated / ruched fabric and mercurial shape of the dress mask most imperfections when worn. Documented, high-quality vintage pieces like this are yours to live in and love while also appreciating in value every year. It’s never too soon to start collecting them, as an investment in your wardrobe—and in yourself. No returns.
