2000 Runway Documented Kenzo Floral Silk Crepe Ruffle Hem Dress

This dress walked the runway as part of Kenzo’s Spring 2000 collection which celebrated the 30th anniversary of founder Kenzō Takada's career as a fashion designer. This was Kenzo's final collection for his namesake brand before his retirement. Throughout his career, Kenzo had embraced a vibrant, eclectic aesthetic that blended global influences with highly wearable silhouettes, and this collection was a showreel of highlights nestled amongst the new collection. This dress was a stand-out piece - shown in both blue and pink floral colourways - designed to showcase Kenzo's skill in making vibrant, feminine and flattering gowns that women want to wear.

Made in France, the dress is tailored from a lightweight silk crepe; a background of pale candy pink provides the perfect setting for blown up roses in fuchsia, tangerine and yellow. It has a column silhouette that gently follows the wearer’s curves and gives way to a three-tiered ruffled hem that falls to the mid-calf. The dress is lined with pale pink crepe. It fastens at the back with a hidden pale pink zip.

In excellent archival vintage condition with no issues. The composition label reads 100% Silk with a lining of 100% Polyester. The size is a French 38 but please double-check the measurements below as vintage sizes tend to run small. Our model's sizes are: Bust: 34" (87cm), Waist: 24" (61cm), Hips: 34.5" (88cm) and Height: 5' 7" (170cm). She's a size UK 6, US 2 and this looks great on her with room to spare; maybe not up to a UK 10 but if you are in-between sizes it will work well - around a UK 8-10 or US 4-6.
