classic top from French designer Chantal Thomass who is best known for her ultra romantic, very Parisian, super sexy designs, typically in a black and white colour way, and which often incorporate typically feminine touches like lace and ribbon and lingerie elements. this top, very true to her style, is from the Fall 1994 collection, where it walked down the runway, as did a dress in the same fabric.
