An opulent example of mid-century American couture, this 1960's Arnold Scaasi gown is rendered in rich red and gold metallic brocade, cut in a sculptural off-the-shoulder silhouette that wraps and drapes dramatically around the body. The design showcases Scaasi’s signature mastery of structure and theatre - combining Hollywood glamour with Parisian-level craftsmanship. The fitted bodice and asymmetrical draped skirt create a liquid, light-catching surface, while the hand-finished seams and meticulous interior construction reflect the quality of construction produced by Scaasi's couture atelier during this period. The result is a work of extraordinary craftsmanship - equally suited to the red carpet or an archive. A rare and spectacular example from one of America’s great society designers, beloved by the likes of Barbra Streisand, Elizabeth Taylor, and the White House elite. Made in the USA.
