For every sort of style there is every sort of icon; Francoise Hardy and her minimalist Courreges chic. Diana Vreeland and the simple back cashmere sweater with ethnic jewelry. Millicent Rogers and her outrageous New Mexico charm. Talitha Getty and her ethereal Indian silks. Talitha was not bumming around in any old heavy cotton frock, noooooooo. Talitha was probably burning cigarette holes in insanely pricey silks that she treated as disposable. Wouldn't you with all that money? Since the whole "wash and wear" revolution, woman have become fearful of silk to wear casually. And while silk gives the impression of delicacy akin to butterfly wings, silk is wonderfully tough. An ankle-length dark tangerine silk georgette dress with classic Indian floral illustrations in apple green and peacock blue by Kathleen Lowe of Treacy Lowe of London. Balloon sleeves and blue smocking at the waist and neckline, it ties in the hollow of the throat with a tiny string. Lined through the entire skirt and bodice in rust crepe de chine, it was made in India as is true for all Treacy Lowe pieces. Ideally sized for a modern 8 or small 10, the sleeves are 24" long and nape to hem is 53" Excellent condition. $495.00 |
