2007 Runway Guy Laroche Couture Dark Mauve Halter-Neck Dress

This is a magnificent body-con maxi gown by Parisian Atelier Guy Laroche - the exact one which walked the runway for the Fall/Winter 2007 couture collection. A floor length creation in mauve stretch-crepe which sensuously clings to the curves of the body. It recalls the minimalist designs of the 1990s, pushing the bandage dress silhouette to its limit by wrapping the cloth around and around the body and cinching the halter drapery across the bust and waist. The dress fastens under the right arm with a hidden tonal zip and a hook-and-eye clasp. It is lined with coordinating fabric throughout the entire dress. The label reads “Guy Laroche Couture” in glittering gold on black thread.

French designer Guy Laroche designed practical, haute couture garments throughout the 1950s up until his death in 1989. By the 2000s, his eponymous brand had taken a new, more modern direction under Damian Yee, who has worked with brands such as Karl Lagerfeld and Gucci, as well as with celebrities like Kylie Minogue and Lenny Kravitz. This incredible gown is in superb archival vintage condition with no flaws of any note. Like many couture pieces, it has no composition or size label so please check our measurements closely below. The fabric has some stretch so please allow a small degree of flexibility on the below measurements. Would fit up to a statuesque UK size 8-10 or US 4-6 and sizes smaller.
