Pre-Fall 2011 Oscar de la Renta Runway Look 44 Strapless Black Silk Chiffon & Blue Embellished Jumpsuit z-archive-stavropoulos This skirt is utterly fantastic

This skirt is utterly fantastic in its own right beyond its historical importance

Excellent condition The dress is fully lined in a cream silk and close at the back with a painted metal zipper

I love that the colour of the feathers has been dyed to the same colour as the silk ribbon that sits at the hem of the tunic above the metal finish

Then onto the front skirt is the giant abstract painting that has been done to suggest a flower or perhaps a field of them

This choice of fabric gives the dress a beautifully lightness as it floats over the body and highlights your curves

Pre-Fall 2011 Oscar de la Renta Runway Look 44 Strapless Black Silk Chiffon & Blue Embellished Jumpsuit z-archive-stavropoulos This skirt is utterly fantasticThe twin of this dress walked the runway as Look 44 for the Pre Fall 2011 ODLR show. It was made under the creative direction of Oscar de la Renta. Vogue said of the collection that "After more than 40 years in business, de la Renta has earned the privilege to send multiple messages down the catwalk and he definitely has a diverse fan base, but for the most part, the 59 looks he showed today played best to the polished uptown types who love him best"
