About the Item
Fit for a fashion Rock Star!
KaufmanFranco made the most modern sexiest, unique glam "little black dress". This one happens to be a $7000 retail "work of art" and worth every penny. The draped front dress has been embellished with hand beaded, black sequins, but 2 things make it REALLY spectacular:
The bodice has a “sculptured rectangular cut out on the bust… like modern art in clothing and secondly, fit for a Rock Star, black leather make the straps to give it the right edge. This is not your mom’s vintage cocktail dress!
The indside construction is a beautiful as the outside. a fully constructed black silk "bra/corset" that attaches under the back zip.
We LOVE this design duo. They deserve all the accolades they get and that is why they have such a loyal following for their modern take on high end fashion. To drape a dress like this, hand beading all centered from a rectangular cut out explains why the used to work/design for Valentino. They are totally genius.
Size 42/EU US 6 . True to size.

KAUFMANFRANCO
The New Sensualists
The collaboration between designers Ken Kaufman and Isaac Franco is marked by an often unspoken, always intense, creative dialogue. As a design team, Kaufman and Franco have shared a unique fashion trajectory - from designing for Valentino in Rome, to helming the Ungaro initiative in the U.S., to overseeing the entire scope of product at Anne Klein as co-creative directors - before establishing KAUFMANFRANCO in the fall of 2004.
KAUFMANFRANCO’s mix of sophistication and edge, luxury and function, handcrafted and high-tech offers up a body conscious sensuality as complex and provocative as the modern woman they dress. “Although our aesthetic is trained in a similar way, interestingly enough, it is always the tension between us that pushes us creatively,” says Franco. This combustible mix of the raw and the refined, the spontaneous and the controlled, produces heat and balance, imbuing their work with a visceral energy.
Simplicity is a unifying element of the KAUFMANFRANCO brand. Franco comments, “We deliver clothes that are deceptively understated, but when you take a closer look at them, they are actually quite complex, not based on decoration but on the cut, fabric and meticulous detailing.” Kaufman adds, “This detailing continues from the outside in, manipulating the construction of each garment in order to create an inside-out sexiness.”
Offering a pared down, well edited mix of pieces, with the highest standards of global craftsmanship, KAUFMANFRANCO is about a new sensuality: a collision of contrasts and a balance of refinement and rebellion.
