1960s Bernard Claverie Lurex Angel Sleeve Maxi Dress monochrome_dress with wide lapels and patchThe Parisian answer to the 'flower power' fashions of the late 1960s, this glittering maxi gown was created by Bernard Claverie of Paris circa 1968 1969. An excellent example of a Parisian boutique adapting haute couture designs for the ready to wear market; this gown was most likely inspired by Pierre Balmain. The dress is fabulous quality and the fabric is mesmerising; russet red lurex patterned with purple, white, yellow, tangerine and rose pink
