Description
Up for consideration is an exquisite, authentic piece of vintage luxury: a signed Leonard Paris silk jersey shift dress. Known worldwide for their vibrant "art-to-wear" prints and incredible textile engineering, Leonard pieces are highly coveted by collectors and vintage fashion enthusiasts alike.
This particular dress features a striking color-blocked abstract layout adorned with beautiful bird illustrations. A unique, standout design choice of this piece is its factory-made asymmetrical hemline, which features an intentional draping pattern that sits beautifully when worn. Classic to the house's meticulous craftsmanship, the signature "LEONARD" name is subtly integrated directly into the fabric design layout beneath the lower bird graphic.
The fabric is a fluid, incredibly soft silk jersey that drapes beautifully and offers comfortable horizontal stretch. It features a back zipper closure with a beautifully detailed floral pull fabric graphic at the top of the zipper track.
Condition
Good vintage condition with some darken sport or color transfer? Not sire if this is normal to the manufacturer i had to make the color contrast so it’ll be obvious in pictures, (please note the circled spots on the pictures). This remained solid and no structural flaws. The asymmetrical hemline is an original design feature of the dress garment construction. The fabric shows minor wrinkling from storage and would benefit from light professional steaming to restore its perfectly fluid drape. Please review all measurement photos closely to ensure an accurate fit.
