About the Item

Evoking late-1980s couture with complex construction showcasing a wide variety of sewing techniques and French lace, this like-new "Christian Lacroix Paris Made In France" fuchsia-label four-piece evening ensemble including detachable jewelry features black 100%-silk with extensive white changeante topstitching like the French designer's handwriting, which includes his signature distorted hearts among quilt-like diamond and flora motifs. To wear like a dress, the zip-jacket and pouf-skirt suit includes a hot-pink satin black-lined faux-blouse that can be fixed over the cleavage via a snap under the collar of the front-zip jacket. Accommodated by princess seams and a rear peplum on the hourglass jacket, the A-frame gathered skirt is in a semi-transparent layered style characteristic of Lacroix's colorful couture with the bottom layer of matching hot-pink satin appearing burgundy under the sheer black stiff organza. The textural skirt overlay echoes the embroidered black-and-white jacket with the addition of undulating black eyelash-lace appliques in the middle. Like a necklace pendant, the ensemble is topped off with a removable intricately-textured silver diamond-mesh charm recalling a disco ball, which adorns the brass zipper that adds an orange stripe to the ensemble palette. As our backless mannequin is a small size, the ensemble will appear as a tighter fit when worn by the intended U.S.-size 8-10. If you would like a coordinating Christian Lacroix Paris silk evening bag from the same period, please view two of our other listings for your choice of a magenta ribbed moire with a bow-motif handle and fold-over snap closure or a like-new contrasting pale-celadon-green satin with a black lacquer-like top that opens at center hinges into a diamond shape.
