Hermès 1970s Couture Silk Dress
E2 for CoutureLab
Reworked vintage dress with waist smocking
“Just as new can become old, so vintage can become new,” is the mantra of Parisian label E2. Its specialism is unearthing rare and original couture pieces and subtly changing or totally transforming them into truly one-off designs. In gallery spaces, rather than on catwalks, is where these luxury creations are typically displayed.
Choose this reworked Hermès silk dress to project classic elegance suffused with modern sophistication. Exquisite paisley print in vermillion and gold draws the eye; subtle smocking to waist and gently billowing three-quarter length sleeves refine your silhouette; ribbon tie through hand-applied eyelets accents your neck. Embellished with studded loops and dangling strands, the accompanying belt is in a perfectly matched print. Wrap around and tie at the back to clinch the dress to your body, or leave aside for a more relaxed effect. A complete one-off, this piece cannot be reordered.
