About the Item
Created by Christian Lacroix during his tenure at Jean Patou in the early 1980s, this haute couture gown exemplifies the designer’s theatrical romanticism and technical mastery. The strapless bodice is crafted from white floral lace, delicately boned for structure, while the lower body features black silk jersey artfully draped to one side, creating a striking contrast in texture and tone. The asymmetrical wrap effect highlights the waist and elongates the silhouette, balancing sensuality with classical elegance. The look is completed by a matching lace stole, underscoring the couture attention to detail and finish. This piece comes from the personal collection of Mouna Ayoub, one of Lacroix’s most devoted haute couture clients, and represents a pivotal moment in his early career — before launching his eponymous house.
