EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the essence of 1960s fashion with this exquisite flamingo pink dress designed by the legendary Italian couturier, Roberto Capucci, in 1963. The dress, made of Petillault waffled silk, is a masterpiece of textural contrasts, with its soft, flowing silk fabric juxtaposed against the stiffened belt and long sleeves, both crafted from ribbed wool. The bloused waist adds a feminine touch, while the bowler hat, collar, and cuffs, all in ribbed wool, add an unexpected and playful twist to the outfit. Capucci was known for his innovative and avant-garde designs, and this dress is a prime example of his ability to push the boundaries of traditional fashion. The use of unconventional materials and unexpected design elements were hallmarks of his work, and this dress is no exception. The pink hue, a popular color during the 1960s, adds a sense of whimsy and romance to the overall look. The 1960s were a time of great change and experimentation in fashion, and this dress embodies the spirit of the era. It represents a moment in time when designers like Capucci were challenging the status quo and redefining what was possible in the world of haute couture. Today, this dress remains a testament to the creativity and vision of one of the most influential designers of the 20th century.
