1960s James Galanos Tailored Black Wool Dress

her niche was the little sliver of day between afternoon and evening Throughout his career, James Galanos has gone from Anne Fogarty paper doll silhouettes to Madame Gres' draped waterfalls but his attention to precise detail is the running thread through each and every one of his collections since the 1950s. A meticulous tailor, Galanos' clothing is never sloppy or carefree but rather simple and - well, perfect. A polished tightly woven black wool dress with slash neckline and flared skirt. Low chest pockets have foiled silver globe buttons and slit kangaroo pockets that lie underneath a free floating black leather belt. Topstitched all in black for textural contrast. Gorgeous with a flashy Roberta di Camerino silk scarf tied around the shoulders and high Casadei black leather platform boots, this is that old school New York style that made the East Coast the epicenter of American fashion for decades. Bust measures 34", shoulder to shoulder 15", outer sleeve 23", lower waist around 31" and length 43". Flawless, unworn condition with original hangtags. sold
