Behind the design
Long sleeves and a floor-length skirt frame a narrow opening through the front of this evening dress. The reduced palette and continuous vertical line make the cut itself the strongest decorative element. Recorded in rayon, it offers a second view of Klein’s fall/winter 1996–97 approach to spare eveningwear.
