incredibly rare set in mint condition by famed designer, andre courreges. courreges worked throughout the 1950s as a fitter at the House of Balenciaga. he left in 1961 to form his own business. his first collections showed traces of the Balenciaga influence, but he soon began working in a new direction. in 1964 courreges showed the first of his "space age" inspired collections. he was the first in paris to show the mini skirt and tunics over trousers. his work was wildly popular, and thus, widely copied.
delicate blue and ivory stripes that look almost as if they've been water painted. this set is truly one of a kind. made in france, silk.
