Insanely glamorous, sensual MASTER PIECE beyond my words!! The dress in soft and sleek Acetate material was said to "resemble the skin of a MERMAID from the hood that covers the woman's head to the train that trails after her".
Hooded and trained evening dress by Azzdeine Alaia in 1986, made of slinky BLACK acetate knit that molds the body better than a glove, with similarly canny curved seaming. Set into one of these audacious seams is a zipper that begins between the breasts, snakes up over one shoulder, slithers diagonally down across the back and swoops forward over one hipbone to continue diagonally downward in front again.. Breathtakingly sensual revealing skin when spiral zipper set opened in a curved seam!!
Hood and scarf fastened with snaps. Permanent collection for Museum of Fashion Institute of Technology, New York, USA. Grace Jones wore Alaia hooded outfits on the Bond film(1985) "A View to A Kill".
