Description
Hand crafted by Josephine M. Kahn, this striking black moiré cocktail dress blends sculptural tailoring with dramatic mid-century elegance. The fitted bodice features a high standing collar, long sleeves with turned cuffs, and oversized pearl bead buttons running down the front. The gathered skirt creates beautiful movement while the moiré fabric catches light with a subtle watered texture throughout.
The silhouette feels refined and theatrical at once — equally at home in a salon setting, evening event, or displayed as part of a curated fashion collection. Fully lined with strong construction and an unmistakably couture-inspired presence.
Curator’s Note
This piece photographs far beyond a typical handmade garment. The severe collar, elongated silhouette, and luminous pearl buttons give it a quietly powerful presence reminiscent of mid-century couture salon dressing. The moiré textile becomes more visible as light moves across the surface, creating depth without ornament overload. A beautifully restrained statement piece.
Presented in excellent vintage condition.
