Behind the design

Trigère's 1963 dress places a dense pattern of sparkling elements over a spare, dark sleeveless body. The scooped neckline leaves the surface decoration uninterrupted across most of the torso. The museum records silk and rhinestones, offering a material contrast with her wool-and-glass evening dress from a decade earlier.
