Crafted from rare two-tone gold lamé, this oversized tunic channels the decadent metallic flair of the 1970s. The geometric zig-zag pattern interweaves threads of purple, blue and green for added dimension. Batwing sleeves, a slashed neckline with two functional button closures, and a drop waist create an artful elongated silhouette.
Fully lined in smooth purple satin, the tunic falls to an asymmetrical handkerchief hem. An oversized bow in coordinating purple satin trims the lower edge. Wear this as a glamorous mini dress or layer it over leggings or slim pants to nod to disco-era shine.
This rare piece exemplifies the expert textile work and bold proportions favored by avant-garde designers like Halston and Stephen Sprouse in the late 1970s. Their legacy lives on in the liquid-like drape and kaleidoscopic colors of this tunic. With its nod to the last days of disco, this glamorous tunic injects a bit of fashion history into contemporary looks.
