Description
xThis striking haute couture evening gown from Christian Dior's Spring-Summer 1987 collection, in a daring magenta pink, stands as a testament to the exceptional artistry of Marc Bohan. The dress is embellished with hundreds of diminutive shimmering black crystals and features a flattering neckline and fitted waist. This dress was featured on the Christian Dior Spring/Summer 1987 runway in a different colorway and the distinctive neckline and particular hue of pink were also prominently featured that year in the Dior haute couture collection.
Marc Bohan, who passed away in 2023 at 97 years old, was committed to elegance and sophistication and this value is exemplified in his pieces. He added a whimsical flair to traditionally practical designs, such as the ribbons on this Couture pink dress which can be tied in knots or bows at the hips.
Marc Bohan created bias-cut skirts and drop-waist dresses for Dior that redefined the modern silhouette for women. He was the first couturier to launch a designer line for children in 1967 called "Baby Dior." His loyal clientele included Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly, Sylvie Vartan, Maria Callas, Farah Diba(wife of the Shah of Iran), and Princess Caroline of Monaco.
Perhaps Bohan's philosophy can best be explained with a couple of quotes from the designer himself:
“What I’m trying to do is create luxury. Quality. By taste. By simplicity. Something very refined. Very elegant. Not showy at all. That is true elegance. And so few understand it.”
“I make clothes for real women, not myself, not for mannequins and not for fashion magazines,I gladly leave the abstract creations to others.”
