Gucci by Tom Ford Vintage AW 1996 Legendary White Jersey & Mariner Link Cutout Gown

Outstanding vintage Gucci dress by Tom Ford, from the Fall/Winter 1996 collection, shown her documented on the runway, in the ad campaign, and as part of The Met's collection. "The fashion equivalent of a one night stand at Studio 54" - Vogue )on Tom Ford's Fall/Winter 1996 GUCCI Collection). Perhaps the most sought after of the slew of white gowns that filled the runway finale, this dress invokes the effortless elegance of it's 1970s Halston inspiration, with it's super sexy cutout at the hip, revealing an Elsa Peretti-esque take on the house's use of the Mariner link. An iconic, cloud white, slinky jersey full length dress with long sleeves and no closure of any kind- slips right over the head. Fully lined in a slinky, thinner jersey. Comes with matching belt that is worn underneath, with the large, curved golden Mariner link inspired piece placed perfectly to line up along the cutout, clasp closure at backside. A remarkable dress and a rare chance to own this fabulous piece of fashion history.
