I have had this tucked away hoping to find out more about the designer but to no avail! It is definitely a well made, higher end piece and the fantastic silver detailing is the epitome of the space age phenomenon at the time! The designer was obviously a contemporary of Courreges and Cardin who were the leaders in the look. This has all the hallmarks with a little A-line skirt and empire waist. The fine black wool crepe helps t hold the shape and I love the silver cord detailing that draws the eye up to the high set bodice and anchors each sleeve. The little half ball round silver beads sit between long clear tube beads and make and amazing contrast against the black. It is like wearing jeweler! A fabulous find! Excellent condition!
