ANGELO TARLAZZI Spring 1986 Vintage Ethnic-Inspired Silk Maxi Dress w/ Stole Size XS-S

An exceptional and highly rare Angelo Tarlazzi maxi evening dress, a documented runway piece from the Spring 1986 collection. Crafted from fine, lightweight 100% silk, this summer piece features a striking ethnic-inspired print in deep blues, dark indigo, and earthy ochre tones, anticipating the soft ethnic aesthetic that became influential in fashion from the late 1980s into the early 1990s. The strapless dress has a lightly boned bustier-style bodice that provides structure, with the silk softly gathered throughout. Below the hips, the straight maxi skirt with a front slit creates an elongated, elegant silhouette. A defining feature is the long, wide silk panel attached at the front, which can be wrapped or draped in multiple ways and worn as a stole, adding versatility and movement to the piece. It closes at the side with a zip and metal hook fastening. 100% silk, fully lined in silk. Made in France. A perfect vacation piece: exceptionally lightweight and ideal for warm climates and travel, with a vivid, sun-inspired color palette that enhances its effortless summer appeal. The detachable draped panel adds a strong, sculptural impact when worn.
