1950s Exotic Print Organza Dress & Wrap designer-john-galliano Guy Laroche 1970s silk blouseThis is not the type of piece you automatically think of when you think of the fifties but a small group of designers like Tina Leser for example were producing pieces made of exotic fabrics like this. Its very exotic and colorful and quite beautiful. The overlay is a silk organza in a deep burnt coral. It has gold and metallic blue threading running through it along with woven in stripes of red and coral. I love the shots of purple and greens too!
