pre-fall 2011 Balenciaga by Nicolas Ghesquière frayed wool dress - XS/S
wonderful take on the little black dress by Nicolas Ghesquière from his years at Balenciaga, before he went to Louis Vuitton where he remains today. made of wool fibres attached in discreet rows to a delicate silk backing, the textile looks like a cross between fur and fraying and makes for a very special dress. features a subtle cowl neck and is fitted through the waist.
was part of that year's pre-fall presentation, worn under the german shepherd sweater.
excellent vintage condition, like new. dry-cleaned and ready to be worn.
made in Italy. 52% wool, 48% silk, 2% polyamide. lining is 71% acetate, 29% silk. marked 36, best fits 34 or US 0-2 maybe 4 (mannequin is US 2). always check the measurements provided, however.
