Gold cellophane dress
 

Gold quilted cellophane evening dress
Designed by Leonard Joseph for the Forward Look Boutique, New York, 1968
T.297-1974

The ultimate in party-going gear, this glittering gold cellophane and sequinned shift was worn by fashion icon Lee Radziwill, a member of the international jetset. Straight from the set of a science fiction movie or a historical epic, the dress is topped off with a dazzling gilt collar. The front and back panels of the garment are slightly longer than the sides and it fastens with a zip at the centre back.

 

Worn and given by Princess Stanislaus Radziwill
