Rare 1974 "The Lily" Collection Zandra Rhodes Dress Set designer-valentino 47" in the back

47" in the back

Beautiful cashmere and silk travel shawl by Hermes that depicts bright balls of geometric patterns on a wonderful mix of bright citrus hues and greens on a cream backdrop

I love the print especially - if you look close those are actually stylized little figures that make up the fabulous red and navy print on the silk

hand done embroidery  that covers its surface

I adore the sexy feel of this dress

Rare 1974 "The Lily" Collection Zandra Rhodes Dress Set designer-valentino 47" in the backThis rare and amazing hand painted silk gown set by Zandra Rhodes in a very rare piece from one of her most coveted of all her collections The Lily collection from 1974. It is constructed of a fine, pale pink, silk chiffon that is entirely hand painted. The top is cut to fit through the body with her wide signature flutter sleeves. The sleeves are left unlined giving a lovely glimpse of bare skin through the silk and a sense of lightness and airiness.
