Numbered 1970s Andre Courreges Deep Blue Velvet Zip Jacket & Wide Legged Pant Set designer-john-anthony staying there until 1964 before

staying there until 1964 before he briefly went on to Courreges before opening his own couture atelier in 1965

The dress is made out of a light purple matte satin fabric that has a built in corset through the bodice and her signature asymmetrical neckline treatment with one sleeve set high and the other set to drape off the shoulder

This one is made of her iconic silk jersey and has fantastic notch cuffed slim fitting sleeves and one of the best prints I have ever seen on a DVF dress - a bright bright pink mixed with orange and cream in little watercolor look diamonds

From there the skirt gently widens to a beautiful fullness in a cascade of silk

Numbered 1970s Andre Courreges Deep Blue Velvet Zip Jacket & Wide Legged Pant Set designer-john-anthony staying there until 1964 beforeThis is a remarkable example of Courreges and the work that Andre was doing during this time period. I know we often associate his work with very mod and short pieces but he also did these fantastic pant sets and he did them so very well. I am sometimes more excited to find these more unusual pieces from him then the more classic ones associated with his name. I have had versions of these in the past and I just love whenever a set comes into the shop.
