This is a beautiful dress from the late 1970s, early 1980s that showcases his ability to do sportswear feeling pieces, but in a very glamourized kind off way. Here he takes the style of a simple and classic sweatshirt and then he extended it out in length to make it a dress and did it in a gold knit. Ease but with high glamour. Everything about the cut is done to make it feel effortless to wear and still have a beautiful and easy silhouette. The shoulders are soft and the sleeves are finished with a ribbed cuff. The dress is cut to just skim over the body underneath so that nothing is tight but it still highlights the body underneath. The fabric is a soft knit in a gold thread so the entire dress shimmers and catches the light. There is soft angled seaming near each shoulder in a nod to the way a sweatshirt is designed. You just slip it over the head and you are done. The super simple cut is in direct contrast to the high evening glamour that is created by the gold knit. This would have been from one of his more accessible lines at the time but is still very well made and the quality is great. It is simple, yet striking, and has not a single unnecessary seam.
