Description
Paper photograph depicting a woman wearing a House of Dior creation "Andalouse", consisting of a full-length evening gown in red silk organdi, embroidered with polka dots of the same tint. Tiers of frills trim the skirt while above the fitted waist another frill defined the bustle line. The press paper is saying that this famous collection of the House of Dior by Yves SAINT LAURENT has renounced the dictates of the geometric lines and forms and has generously assumed the natural silhouette. A new woman has been born - long and willowy, young and gay.Material
