About the Item
Siah Howard is a haute couture fashion label established in London in 2017. An eveningwear and wedding dress specialist, Howard’s fantastical designs are elaborate, elevated and otherworldly. This incredible couture-crafted ensemble was created as part of the designer’s whimsical ‘Le Femme’ collection and the fabric featured prominently throughout. The bodysuit was worn by actor Georgia Mayfoote in the 2019 short film Queen of Diamonds. Decadently embellished, the set is composed of bodysuit and full-length cover-up. The sleeveless bodysuit is crafted from a sheer pale blush pink mesh with a rounded neckline and raw hems at the shoulders and neck. It fastens down the back with a tonal zip. The bodysuit is detailed with appliqué florals. Formed from glistening sequins in rose gold and black, the flowering vines climb up the front and back of the bodysuit, somewhat preserving the wearer’s modesty. Below the waistband, black sequins form an opaque background to the florals and cover the body entirely. At the side of the waist, the rose gold vine appliqués hang from the body, rippling with movement, as though they are growing around the body. The bodysuit is lined with black satin from the waist down.
The decadent, coordinating cover-up is cut extremely generously. It has very wide batwing sleeves and hangs open at the front, cascading like a waterfall down and around the body. The raw-hemmed fabric is incredibly detailed; a black sequin background covered in rose gold sequin florals with intricate black detailing. The cover-up is very long, meaning that it flows out behind the wearer as a long, theatrical train, puddling on the floor around the wearer. It is unlined. It has no fastenings.
These attention-grabbing pieces are in excellent condition, particularly for an ensemble of such intricate embellishment and may never have been worn. The retail tag, minus VAT, is over £9k. Due to being couture made, it has no size or composition label, so please check the measurements below carefully. The fabric has no stretch. We believe the bodysuit would fit a UK size 8-10, US 4-6. The cover-up would fit a range of sizes.

By Antony Price
Located in London, GB
This spotlight-stealing gown was designed by Antony Price during the 1990s. Price became known for his image-making, collaborating on outlandish, seductive designs with the most famous musicians of the 20th century, including David Bowie, Duran Duran and Roxy Music. He went on to dress Anjelica Huston, Jerry Hall, Yasmin Le Bon, Diana Ross and Dita Von Teese.

Nina Ricci Couture Black Floral Devoré Silk Kimono Sleeve Caftan Dress
By Nina Ricci
Located in Boca Raton, FL
This Nina Ricci kimono is an effortless way to layer on luxury. The diaphanous beauty is designed from light-as-air black silk featuring a devoré print of gorgeous swirling flowers, vines and leaves. Many of the flowers are dressed up with black metallic accents at their centers, but those glimmering touches aren’t what truly creates the drama in this couture piece. The stunning flowing sleeves do. They rest at the wrists and then cascade down, creating a sinuous arc with the ankle-length hem. Wear the topper open at the front or fasten it at the jewel neckline, which is finished with pretty gathers that help to elegantly frame the face.
