Nina Ricci Haute Couture Satin Bow Dress by Gérard Pipart
This silk satin dress hails from the 1980s, during Gérard Pipart’s 30 year tenure at the House of Ricci. The decorative nautical-themed buttons work up to a flamboyant double bow adorning the neck. The intricate pleating on the sleeves give them a sightly puffed look, adding volume to the shoulders. Unlined Haute Couture pieces such as this are particularly impressive, as the exposed raw edges are hand-finished with breathtaking precision.
