S/S 1991 Katharine Hamnett runway tie crop top with keyhole - S/M
fun crop top from British label Katharine Hamnett, a politically inclined designer who started her house in 1979. two versions of this top walked the runway that season, one in a stripe and one in a sheer blue fabric. this one is in a chartreuse yellow with green undertones made of soft rayon with a lovely hand feel. the top buttons at the collar and then ties under the bust, leaving a keyhole at the chest (see label photo for most accurate colour).
good vintage condition, other than the following flaws: has a scratch of sorts in the middle of the back, and a few catches on the left side, near the bust. these flaws don't really show when worn or affect the integrity of the piece, though the price was reduced to reflect the damage. dry-cleaned and ready to be worn.
made in Italy. 100% rayon. marked M, fits S/M or US 2-4-6-8 due to the nature of the design and the tie at the waist. shown here on US 2 mannequin with 32" bust.
