A beautiful example of 90's Vivienne Westwood, this black velvet mini dress showcases the designer’s refined approach to structure, silhouette and romantic detailing during her most collectible decade. Dating to the S/S 1995 'Erotic Zone' collection - a season defined by exaggeratedly feminine silhouettes - this piece captures the key codes of the runway: a pronounced scooped neckline framed by an oversized satin Peter Pan–style collar, echoed by matching satin turn-back cuffs. The inky velvet bodice is underpinned by subtle internal corsetry, creating a sculpted, lifted line that exemplifies Westwood’s mastery of form. Effortlessly ladylike with a whisper of subversion, this is a beautifully constructed standout special occasion piece. Made in Italy.
