Behind the design
An asymmetric neckline and diagonal folds shape this floor-length silk dress. Its nearly continuous field of dark color places attention on the way the garment drapes around the torso and hips. The museum assigns it to fall/winter 1996–97, allowing direct comparison with Klein’s long-sleeved rayon evening dress from the same collection.
