The Carven dress was also on display in "Azzedine Alaïa - Couturier Collectioneur" at the Palais Galleria. The Margiela also has utterances of McCardell's "Monastic Dress" too. I've seen something else similar too from the 50s or so but I can't for the life of me remember where or what...

Now not sure if this is the one that pops in and out of my memory, but thank you to Kate Trasdin for popping this into my feed. Version of this was worn by Dovima for an Everfast Cotton ad campaign.
