1960's Malcolm Starr Printed Silk Chiffon Dress with Plunging Back
"Malcolm Starr" label. I consider this a rare Starr design, this is the only printed silk chiffon Malcolm Starr dress I have seen and it is from the early 1960's, which is also rare. The print is reminiscent of Pucci or Bessi of that era. This is an abstract print swirly modern design on silk chiffon over matching silk crepe. The neckline in front is high and decorated with pleated chiffon, like a scarf. The chiffon extends down alongside the plunging back line. The bodice is fitted, gusseted sleeves, very very full skirt with shirring and hand finished hem. Yards of chiffon on this skirt! The waist is finished with self piping, and a double-bow in back at center waist. The dress fastens with back metal zipper and hooks.

1960's Hanae Mori Op Art Print Dress
"Mori Hanae" label. Mori is considered the Queen of Couture in Japan. Mori opened her first clothing boutique in Tokyo in 1951. Soon after she began costume designing for film. In 1960, a fitting with Coco Chanel provided the inspiration that she must create Haute Couture. "East Meets West" was the theme for her first collection presented in New York in 1965. This collection was met with great enthusiasm by critics and the top department stores, and as a result Mori opened two boutiques in New York. In 1977 she opened a Haute Couture house in Paris and also a boutique. The same year she became member of the "Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture". This was a very rare privilege for someone not French born, and (at the time) for a woman. This mod little silk dress from the mid 60's is a rare find, almost unheard of to find a 60's Mori piece.. A chic little shift style dress with attached self belt. Done in tangerine and yellow in an op art dots print. Partially lined, fastens with side snaps and hooks.
