The tiny little part of world where fashion meets art is really a room so small that it only holds a few things: Martin Margiela's sequin-photoprint gown, a Schiaparelli shoe hat made by Salvador Dali, Ann Demeulemeester's aprons painted by Jim Dine, Paraphernalia's original paper dresses, Marc Bohan's Warhol chiffons for Dior and Pierre Bory's multirobe... the Robe K dress. A do-it-yourself puzzle dress in cotton-backed white vinyl that can be pieced together on the body to make endless creations via slots and tabs. "Le premiere robe vinyl a monter soi-meme des modeles a l'infini en changeant la disposition des pieces". A bandeau top and miniskirt? Sure. A toga dress with slit? Bien entendu. A midi-length shift? Why not?! Complete in aluminum-handled black cardboard storage/carry tube, there are the original 275 pieces - I counted - (255 squares with two "ears", 10 triangles with "ears", 8 triangles without the tabs and 2 squares with just one tab) and original illustrated instructions in French. Dated Juin 1970, this is in complete and flawless, unused condition. You'll see these from time to time without the box, pieced together in different colors or with a photocopy of the instructions. Not here. The only exception would be is that the handle is slightly bent. Of the different colors, white truly represents Space Age the most distinctly. Dated Juin 1970, this is in complete and flawless, unused condition. $9150.00 |
