Given by Princess Stanislaus Radziwill

Designed with very unconventional materials for the avant-garde New York boutique Forward Look, this dress was worn by Princess Stanislaus Radziwill. She was the sister of Jackie Kennedy and a regular figure on the social scene on both sides of the Atlantic. Indeed the princess featured in Time's 1966 special edition on 'Swinging London'.
