We might still be hiding our features behind masks following the example the phantom of the opera set in 1986 but our closets are ready to distract from that. While lacking couture and in-person culture over the past year it is again time to bring out the gowns for opening nights at the opera or early Christmas party.
This particular garment, look 16 from the 2019 fall ready-to-wear show, stems from the heritage luxury fashion icon Lanvin. In January of said year, Bruno Sialelli took over the position of creative director at Lanvin and quickly found a new direction for the brand, diverging from his two short-lived predecessors. The collection itself had gothic influences which are as well visible in the dress. The intricate black prints on a white background feature many details inspired by the middle ages. This intricately cut gown can be tied in the back and features a neck holder style leather chocker, to which the sleeves and the bodice of the dress are attached. Further design elements are combined in this one garment: from open-cut sleeves to layers which give the dress an appearance of being a creation of different silk scarfs.
