Vogue Paris Original (American, middle of the 20th century)Description
Gold lamé evening gown with belt imitating buckle in green velvet.1960 is the decade of all darings - new cuts - new volumes - new colors - new materials, inspired by the space conquest that favors the use of aluminum and lamé. While at the same time, new designers imagine new forms, including the trapeze dress, which will dynamite the bourgeois wardrobe by taking the opposite of traditional silhouettes.
